Ciudad Victoria parking meter concession dispute

Overview

The private firm Victoria Metters has continued to operate parking meters in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, despite its concession having expired in February 2024. Residents initially raised concerns regarding the legal basis of these charges and noted discrepancies in ticketing documentation.

Following these reports, the Ciudad Victoria City Council initiated legal action against the company, referred to as Victoria Meter, to recover more than one million pesos in unpaid revenue. While the company claimed the withheld funds were designated for equipment repair and modernization, municipal officials stated that improvements have not occurred and many devices remain non-functional. The municipality is now seeking to recover the debt and revoke the company’s administration of the parking meter system.
