Appeal a Parking Ticket

If you believe your parking ticket is unfair, unjust, or issued in error, you may appeal it.

There are three levels of review:

  1. A review of your parking citation by the Citation Processing Center and/or Walnut Creek Police
  2. A review of your parking citation conducted by an outside party trained in administrative hearings of parking matters
  3. A hearing held by the Walnut Creek Superior Court

Each level of review must occur before the next.
