The city of Buchanan is raising its fees for parking violations. It says starting July 1, the fees for any parking violation in the city of Buchanan will increase to $25 per violation. If the parking citation is not paid within five days, the fee will increase to $50. After 15 days if the parking citation is not paid, the late fee will increase to $75. If the parking citation is not paid after 30 days, it will be referred to the district court where the fines and fees will be established. The city reminds everyone there is no parking on any city street or in any municipal parking area between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Residents who live downtown and don’t have private parking available are required to park in the designated parking spaces and have a permit. Other parking violations that are subject to a fine can include parking in a yellow zone, parking next to a fire hydrant, or parking in a marked no parking zone. You can pay a parking ticket at the Buchanan Police Department or by mail.
