Alexandria Offering New High-Tech Options to Contest Parking Tickets

Alexandria is now offering more high-tech ways to discuss and contest parking tickets.

In addition to the traditional in-person and by-mail options for contesting citations, vehicle owners can choose from several online adjudication options, including videoconferencing and teleconferencing.

Additionally, beginning Monday, the parking adjudication office will be located at , 301 King St., instead of 421 King St. Adjudication will be closed for the move on Friday.

Walk-in office hours will change on Monday, March 26. During that week, walk-in hours will change from the current schedule of Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., to a new schedule offering walk-in service on a first-come, first-serve basis on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Vehicle owners requesting online hearings will be able to choose three potential dates and times for hearings. Parking Adjudication will schedule the “best fit” based on staff availability and send the vehicle owner an email including the hearing date and time, along with instructions for accessing the online hearing program. 

The city will continue to allow vehicle owners to submit adjudication requests by mail. However, the 10-day adjudication limit will apply. The vehicle owner must present a valid driver’s license (or a copy for mailed requests) and supporting documentation when contesting a parking citation. 

Hard copies of all documents must be mailed with the adjudication request or provided to the adjudicator and will become part of the adjudicator’s permanent records, which can be audited.

There is a $10 charge if a ticket is upheld. There is no fee if the ticket is waived based on the evidence provided.
