What if I want to fight the ticket?

How do I request a hearing?
To fight a parking ticket, you must request a hearing within 30 days after the ticket was issued to avoid paying late penalties.
What if I want to fight a ticket I received over 100 days ago?
If you got your parking ticket more than 100 days ago, a default judgment is entered against the vehicle's owner. The owner must submit a “Parking and Camera Violation Request for Hearing After Judgment” form to fight the ticket. If the request for hearing after judgment is granted, the judge will hear the defense to the parking ticket. If the request is not granted, no hearing will be held and the total fine, interest, and penalties will be due. Learn more about fighting a ticket you received over 100 days ago.
How do I file an appeal if I fought my ticket and was found guilty?
If an Administrative Law Judge finds you guilty at a parking ticket hearing, you have the right to appeal the decision. To request an appeal, you must file a Parking / Camera Violations Appeal Application within 30 days of the Administrative Law Judge's hearing decision. Learn more about filing an appeal here.
