Impound & Suspension

Please read and obey all campus parking rules. Non-compliance may result in your vehicle being impounded or towed or your campus parking privileges being suspended.

Impoundment

Citation-related

  • You have 3 or more delinquent citations with a remaining balance.
  • You have accumulated 5 guilty citations during the academic year ( September 1 – August 31) and receive a 6th guilty citation.
  • A citation has not been paid or appealed within 15 calendar days of issuance.
  • Payment is made with a bad check.
  • Your parking privileges have been suspended.

Parking Violations

Your vehicle may also be impounded if it is:

  • Parked in a no parking zone, service area, fire lane, or disabled persons parking space
  • Parked in a reserved or restricted parking area
  • Obstructing traffic or creating a hazard
  • Parked at a bus stop
  • Abandoned

Releasing an Impounded Vehicle

Vehicles may be released from impound 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., vehicles may be released at the TAPS Customer Relations Office, located at 1273 Gale Lemerand Drive, just north of Mowry Road at the front of Parking Garage 13. At all other times, vehicles must be released through the University of Florida Police Department at 352-392-1111.

What You’ll Need to Pay

To release an impounded vehicle, all delinquent citations must be paid in full, along with a $100 boot fee or $125 towing fee.

Policy Justification

This enforcement policy helps control and reduce illegal parking on campus by holding repeat offenders accountable. Illegal parking reduces available parking and is unfair to those who have parking permits and follow UF parking regulations.
