Appealing parking fines is the process of disputing a parking ticket that you believe was issued unfairly or in error. There are a number of reasons why you might want to appeal a parking fine, such as if you were not actually parked in a restricted area, if you had a valid permit, or if the signage was unclear.
There are a number of benefits to appealing a parking fine. If you are successful, you will not have to pay the fine. You may also be able to get your parking record cleared, which can be helpful if you are looking for a job or renting an apartment. In some cases, you may also be able to get the officer who issued the ticket disciplined.
