Parking Citations/Tickets

Parking restrictions are necessary to properly manage and maximize public benefit from the City's on-street parking resources. Safety is the primary goal of all parking restrictions. Restrictions also support the diverse needs of the City's on-street parking users and stakeholders. Parking citations are issued to improve compliance with these restrictions. Without parking citations, these restrictions would frequently be ignored. For more information, view the Parking Citations/Tickets FAQs.

To pay a parking citation, your parking citation number is required. If you do not have the citation number, provide the license plate number and state for the vehicle cited.

NOTE: If your citation is delinquent, you may owe additional penalties and interest that are not included in the amount due. For more information, contact the City Treasurer's Delinquent Accounts Program.

Failure to Pay

If a parking citation is not paid after approximately 75 days, the citation information may be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles preventing you from registering the vehicle until all outstanding citations are paid. The amount due may also be forwarded to the City Treasurer for collections.

To find out if you have outstanding parking citations, call Parking Administration at (866) 470-1308 (Toll-free). Have your vehicle license plate number ready when you call.
