Brainerd To Collect Overdue Parking Fines From State Tax Refunds

It is not unusual for cities to experience difficulties in collecting over due parking fines, but the Brainerd Police Department and the Brainerd City Council have a plan.

The city will use what's known as The Revenue Recapture Act, and will takes funds from Minnesota State Tax returns. The claim is filed with the State, and the violator will have a lien put against his tax refund until the debt with the City of Brainerd is settled.
