Online Parking Dispute Process Returns September 14th

The City and County of Denver is gearing up to once again offer people a way to dispute their parking tickets online.

Starting Monday, September 14, people who believe they were issued a parking citation in error can dispute it online. DOTI will review online citation disputes, replacing what was formerly the Parking Magistrates program run by Denver County Court.

To dispute a citation online when the portal opens September 14, the citation must not be over 20 days old (in other words, the ticket must have been issued on or after August 25). See below on how to prepare.

What documentation should I provide when disputing a parking ticket online?

When the dispute portal opens on Monday, September 14, you must submit complete and accurate documentation in order for your dispute to be considered by the City and County of Denver. Please review the following guidance on required documentation depending on the nature of your dispute.
