The "2018 Gyeonggi Province Municipal and County Comprehensive Evaluation" assesses the collection rate of administrative fines imposed from January 1, 2017, among 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province.

The evaluation divides municipalities into three groups based on population, with Suwon City belonging to Group I (10 cities). Group I consists of 10 cities: Suwon, Goyang, Yongin, Seongnam, Bucheon, Ansan, Hwaseong, Namyangju, Anyang, and Pyeongtaek.

Suwon City held a "2017 Administrative Fine Collection Performance Improvement Report Meeting" at the City Hall Disaster and Safety Situation Room on the 16th and revised its annual administrative fine collection rate target upward from the initially set 67% to 72%. The collection rate ranking target was set at first place in Group I and third place in the province.

In 2016, Suwon City collected 65% (13.555 billion won) of the total administrative fines imposed and ranked third in Group I. Both the collection rate and collection amount represented all-time records.

The administrative fine collection rate, which stood at 56.3% in 2014, rose to 59.2% in 2015 and surpassed 60% for the first time last year. This year is expected to set all-time records for both collection rate and collection amount.

Participants in the report meeting decided to actively encourage delinquent payers to pay their dues in order to achieve a "72% collection rate" and to intensively manage parking and stopping violation fines, illegal outdoor advertisement fines, and automobile liability insurance fines, which account for approximately 90% of total administrative fines. High-amount delinquent cases are planned to be managed on a one-to-one basis, including pursuing deposit garnishment.
