DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The city of Des Moines is giving those with unpaid parking tickets a chance to settle up before further action is taken to collect the debts. The city says it has $1.8 million in parking ticket fines that are more than 120 days overdue.

The city has sent out postcards reminding those with tickets that there are three ways to pay the outstanding tickets. That includes:
— Online at https://pay.dmgov.org/ ;
— In person on the first floor of City Hall;
— Or by mail with a check addressed to the City of Des Moines and sent to the Des Moines City Clerk’s Office.

Those with unpaid balances greater than 120 days will have until Oct. 12 to pay before the information is sent to a collection agency.
