Most parking violations are $33 but can be more depending on the type of violation. Violations must be paid or appealed within 21 days of issuance. After that 21-day period, additional fees apply.

Call 303-658-2435 for assistance to remove a boot from your vehicle after all pending citations have been paid.
Once a vehicle has three (3) or more outstanding parking violations, it is eligible for immobilization and the owner will be issued a notice of immobilization. The owner may dispute the validity of the notice within 21 days and ask for a review.
Step 1 – Administrative Review
The first step in disputing a parking citation is an administrative review. This review is intended to screen citations issued by error where the respondent is not at fault. If you feel you were issued an invalid citation, you can dispute the citation online or by mail.
Send your written dispute and supporting documents to: Parking & Curbside Management P.O. Box 747. Westminster, CO 80036
Step 2 – Administrative Hearing
If your citation is not dismissed in step 1 and you wish to contest the result of the administrative review, you can request a hearing with an Administrative Hearing Officer.
