Appeal a Citation
What do I need to appeal a citation?
- A valid reason for your appeal
- Proof of payment, which includes the payment date and time (e.g., a photo of your parking receipt, pay-by-cell screenshot, validation, or reciprocal permit)
Be aware that the following arguments are unlikely to result in a successful appeal:
- I don’t agree with or don’t know the regulations
- I couldn’t find a space in my usual parking lot/garage
- I have been parking this way for a long time and have never received a citation until now
- Other people were parked this way
- I was late for a class/meeting or my class/meeting ran late
- I can’t afford to pay the fine
- Someone told me it was okay to park there
- I was only in violation for a short time
- Someone else was driving my car that day
- I didn’t see the sign
- I forgot to pay
