Costa Mesa police will begin charging non-residents to sign off on fix-it tickets later this month, police department officials announced.
Starting Sept. 27, anyone who isn't a resident and asks to get a fix-it ticket signed off will have to pay $10. The fee offsets the costs of approving the service, department officials said.
The policy change stems from City Council action in July. Costa Mesa signed off on anyone's fix-it ticket for free before, but after comparing the rates with neighboring cities -- most of which charge fees to non-residents and some to city residents -- the council opted to start charging people who don't live in Costa Mesa.
