How to Contest a Parking Citation

The City of Glendale adheres to the guidelines prescribed by the California Vehicle Code with regard to the contesting of parking citations. Contesting a parking citation is a three step process. In order to participate in this process you MUST adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Administrative Review

You must submit your request within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the date the citation was issued, or fourteen (14) calendar days from the mailing of a Notice of Parking Violation. Click here to contest your citation online.

2. Administrative Hearing

If your citation was upheld in Step 1, you may proceed with an administrative hearing. Please be sure to carefully follow the instructions on the Administrative Review Decision - Liable form that was mailed to you. State Law requires that you submit payment owed on the citation when proceeding with this step except as provided in Section 40215 (b) of the California Vehicle Code.

Your request and payment must be received no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days of the mailing of the results of the Administrative Review in Step 1. Failing to meet these requirements will result in your citation being upheld and you will have waived your ability to further contest the citation.

3. Court Appeal

If the citation is upheld in Step 2, you may file an appeal of the finding with the Los Angeles Superior Court, 111 N. Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. You must obtain a Notice of Appeal form from the court. There is a court imposed filing fee of $25 for this process. The appeal must be filed within thirty (30) calendar days of the mailing of the Administrative Hearing officer’s findings. A copy of the appeal must also be filed with the City of Glendale, Office of the City Attorney, located at 613 E. Broadway, Glendale, CA 91206-4394. Your failure to timely file this appeal will result in your waiver to have the matter heard by the court.

If the presiding Judge dismisses your citation, the $25 filing fee along with your parking fine will be refunded to you.
