Payment plans, again you have the problem and costs of getting payments plus the costs of administering the plan. May if you don't pay you're in contempt of court and can be jailed -- I don't know...
Maybe manadatory insurance as the do on autos with no sale or transfer of title allowed without proof of insurance. I'm not real happy with that and not at all sure it would work but the state does have a real interest in the issue.

The point being missed is the fine is just the fine. The owner should also be held responsible for the cost of the removal over and above the fine. Garnish wages for the next 20 years if need be, but the cost should be borne by the individual.
