Introduction
- Almost everyone will receive a parking ticket at some point. Failing to pay a parking ticket promptly will lead to additional fees being added to the original amount of the citation. Continuing failure to pay can lead to your car being towed or booted, or even to an arrest warrant. Paying your parking ticket online is a quick and easy way to resolve the situation and prevent any negative consequences.
Step 1: Confirm You Deserve the Ticket
- You should not pay any parking ticket that you intend to contest.
- When you return to your car and find a parking ticket, check to make sure you committed the violation you were ticketed for.
- The violation will be printed in different places on tickets issued in different places, but somewhere on the ticket it will say what parking rule you violated.
- Check the signs around your parking spot to make sure that they are visible and clear.
- Make sure you were not ticketed for not having a placard or permit that you do indeed have.
Step 2: Gather Necessary Information
- Once you determine that you do need to pay the parking ticket, you will need to make sure you have some information ready to be able to pay the parking ticket online. Not all information will be required in all localities. You'll likely need:
- The ticket itself
- Your debit card, credit card or checking account information
- Your license plate number
- Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Pen or pencil and paper
Step 3: Find the Correct Website
- The back of your ticket should indicate the website you can visit to pay your parking ticket online, as well as the date by which the ticket needs to be paid. If you cannot locate the website information, you can also use a search engine such as Google to find the proper website for the state, county or ticket that issued you the parking citation.
- Once at the site, you should confirm that it uses a secure method to transmit data.
- You will most likely need to enter the ticket number and date received in order to log in to the payment system.
- After you have logged in, proceed with payment as instructed on the site.
- Most websites will charge a small convenience fee for using their online payment services.
Step 4: Confirm Your Payment
- Once you submit payment, you should receive a confirmation page.
- Write down the confirmation number provided, as well as the time you submitted your payment.
- If possible, print the confirmation page.
- Have the website email you a payment confirmation if that option is available.
- File all payment confirmation information along with your ticket.
