Icheon-si Introduces 'Electronic Pre-Notification System' for Seizing License Plates of Overdue Vehicles

Monitoring Delinquency Status
for Both Parked and Moving Vehicles

Gyeonggi-do Icheon City will introduce the 'Electronic Notice System for Seizure of License Plates of Delinquent Vehicles,' which monitors not only parked vehicles but also vehicles in motion for delinquency, starting next month.

The newly introduced system is a smart delinquency administration system with an added electronic notice function targeting delinquent vehicles. Unlike the traditional manual method, it uses vehicle-mounted automatic recognition technology to quickly identify delinquent vehicles and immediately sends collection encouragement notices and seizure warning notices to the taxpayer's mobile phone to inform them of the delinquency.

The city conducted a pilot operation for one month this month to prepare for this and will officially operate the system from next month after improvements. The seizure targets for delinquent vehicle license plates are vehicles with ▲ two or more unpaid automobile taxes ▲ and those with a total of 300,000 KRW or more in unpaid automobile-related fines such as illegal parking, lack of mandatory automobile insurance, or failure to undergo regular inspections.

The city plans to conduct focused enforcement on major roads and public parking lots while continuously providing guidance and information. Additionally, the city explained that it has improved the notification system to make it easier for citizens to check delinquency status and has prepared various support measures to enhance payment convenience, such as local tax alert messages.

An official from Icheon City said, "The introduction of the electronic notice system will reduce unnecessary conflicts," and added, "We will do our best to encourage voluntary payment by citizens and realize fair tax administration."
