If you choose to appeal online, you will need the citation number or the license plate number. Using that information, you can search for the citation in the system. You will then need to submit your contact information, the appeal reason, any comments you would like to include, and any attachments that support your appeal. Once submitted, you should receive a response to your appeal within 2 to 4 weeks.
If you choose to appeal at your scheduled hearing, the date and time of your scheduled hearing is listed on the front of the parking citation, under the Violation and Fine Amount.
