How to contest a Parking Citation

If you wish to contest a parking citation because you believe it was issued in error,  you may request an administrative review via the citation portal.

To contest a parking citation, visit: Citation Portal

No refunds are issued for a parking ticket that is paid and a contest form is filled out thereafter. 

If an Administrative citation review determines an error was made in issuing a citation, any late fees will be waived and the ticket may be dismissed.

Should the Administrative review be denied, any fines or late fees accrued will still be due. Submitting a request for review does not stop late fees from accruing, and those fees are added beginning 10 days after a citation is issued.

Parking Ticket Court 

If you wish to plead NOT GUILTY to a parking citation/ticket:

  • Tuesdays ONLY at 2:30PM.
  • Call Olmsted County District Court at 507-722-7279 to schedule a court hearing.
