Parking Ticket Appeals Process

If you receive a parking citation, you have the right to appeal it.

First Level Dispute

• Deadline: You must submit your appeal within 21 days of the citation date or 14 days from the mailing date of the delinquency notice.
• How to Appeal: Visit the PMB Parking Ticket Dispute website, call 1-800-700-4417, or mail your appeal to the PMB address listed on their website.
• Important: The citation fine must not be paid, as paying the fine waives your right to appeal.
• Review Process: The enforcement agency will review your appeal and provide a determination within 21 days. Be sure to check your email, including your junk folder, for the decision.
• Contact: If you have not received a determination after 21 days, contact PMB at 1-800-700-4417. You can also check the status of your dispute on the PMB website.

Second Level Dispute

If your first-level appeal is denied, you can file a second-level dispute within 21 days of receiving the first determination.

• Process: Download the Second Level Dispute Form from the PMB webpage.
• Required Materials: You must mail the completed form to PMB along with supporting evidence (e.g., photos, permit copies) and a check for the amount of the fine. This is a required deposit that will be refunded if your appeal is successful.
• Financial Hardship: If you are unable to pay the deposit, you can submit a Financial Hardship Waiver in its place.
• Hearing: The enforcement agency will contact you within 90 days to schedule a hearing.

Third Level Dispute (Court Appeal)

• If you wish to appeal further, you must file a dispute with the court in the county where the ticket was issued.
• You must also notify PMB by mail within 30 days of the second-level hearing examiner’s decision.
• A $25 processing fee is required by the court.

The revenue generated by parking fees can ONLY be used for building, operating, maintaining, and providing security for parking facilities on campus.
