  • Signs at parking lot entrances include lot numbers and what permits are valid in that lot.
  • Citations may only be appealed online through JayPark; no in-person or over the phone appeals will be accepted. Appeals must be received within 7 days of the date the citation was issued. The appeal must present substantial evidence that the parking violation was not committed, or the occurrence was due to circumstances beyond the appellant's control. The appeal process is not a venue for general criticisms, complaints, or policy debates. For the link to appeal and more appeal information go to the Violations, Fine Amounts, and Appeals section above.
