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.

Citations are issued based on information gathered by the enforcement office. If an error is noted on the citation in the description of the vehicle such as make or model is made, an appeal may be filed. The Appeal officer will then refer to photographic evidence on file and uphold or deny the appeal based on the photographic evidence on file. Photographic evidence coupled with motor vehicle registry records will be used as the final determining factor in such cases.
