36-Month Collection Bar On Unpaid Parking Penalties

Arizona prohibits initiating collection - including blocking vehicle-registration renewal - on an unpaid civil-traffic or parking penalty where the final disposition occurred more than 36 months before collection is initiated (and the required unpaid-notice was not given). Old parking debts past 36 months are unenforceable.

Legal basis

A.R.S. 28-1601(C) (no collection where final disposition more than 36 months prior; registration-renewal protection).
