Appealing a Parking Citation/Ticket
Requests to appeal the parking violation must be made in-person at the Wake Forest Police Department, 225 S. Taylor St.
You will be notified of the date and time the Parking Review Committee will hear the appeal.
Consider the following questions before determining to contest a parking ticket:
Was I unsure of the law before choosing to park in the spot?
Did I not see the signs in the area?
Did I park in a handicap space when I do not have a handicap placard/license plate?
Was I improperly parked in the handicap space, striped access area, over the line, or taking up more than one space?
Was my placard expired at the time of the citation?
Was I using someone else's handicap placard?
Did I forget to place my Vehicle registration Decal on my license plate?
Answering "yes" to any of these questions does not invalidate a parking citation. You must present your defense to the Parking Review Committee.
