Parking Citations

Appeal or Pay Parking Citation

 

Step 1 - The Administrative Review

You have 21 calendar days from the date of your citation to file an online Administrative Review Citation appeal form. This form allows you to put in writing your explanation and reason for appeal.  Please include a photo of your daily permit, semester permit, or disabled placard along with additional photographs that may help your reason for appeal. In addition, include semester permit number or disabled placard number if applicable.

This form will be reviewed by our department, and a decision will be mailed to you within (3) weeks.

Parking citations will generally not be dismissed for a lost or forgotten permit, for an improperly displayed permit, not knowing regulations, and not reading the signs. Please be specific in explaining why you feel the citation should be dismissed. If you do not agree with the findings of the Administrative Review, you have the option of going to Step 2.
