Appeal Guidelines

Any person who has been issued a parking ticket may file an appeal with the Office
of Parking Management provided that no more than twenty (20) calendar days
elapse since the issuance of the ticket. A denied citation must be paid within ten (10)
days after the date of denial. The Parking Management Office will investigate to
determine whether or not a violation has occurred and if there were significant
mitigating circumstances surrounding the parking infraction to warrant excusing
the fine. The Appeal action,  will halt the billing process until a decision is made.

• Appeal forms must be submitted within twenty (20) calendar days from the
  date of the ticket.

Decisions on appeals are based on the below guidelines:

1. The citation and fine is presumed valid. It is the obligation of the
   appellant to present information that would invalidate the ticket.
2. A specific reason for denial is not required to be given. A
   general statement can be made that a sufficient reason for
   reversal was not made.
3. Failure to file an appeal in twenty (20) calendar days of the
   issue date will result in automatic denial and also means that
   you have accepted the citation as is and all fines are due.
