Citation Appeals

We accept citation appeals online or in writing at the Parking Services office. You must include your citation number and your mailing address in your appeal.
You must appeal your citation within seven days of the date it was issued or we will not consider your appeal until you have paid the fine. We do not consider citation appeals after 30 days (whether or not your fine has been paid).

Please note it may take up to four weeks for a ruling on your appeal.

Citation Payments

Traffic and parking citations can be paid in the following ways:
  • Online. You'll need your citation number, licence plate number or customer ID.
  • In person at the Parking Services office. We accept cash, cheque, debit, credit card (VISA, Mastercard, American Express) or money order.
  • By mail with money order or cheque. There is a three-week waiting period for cheques to clear; citations and encumbrances won't be cleared until after this waiting period.

Courtesy Tickets
If the citation code on your parking or traffic ticket starts with a "5," it means you have received a courtesy ticket. You will not be fined for the violation this time, but have received a warning.
