How to Contest a Parking Ticket in Las Vegas

Parking tickets issued by the City of Las Vegas are reviewed by the city's Parking Services office. You can file a Level 1 appeal if you have made no payments and the ticket is within 30 days of its issue date. Appeals can be filed up to 90 days from the original notice, but late penalties may apply after 30 days.

Level 1 appeals are reviewed on paper by an administrative appeal committee, with no appearance required, so include all of your evidence up front: permits, registration, photos, receipts or medical records. You can appeal online through the city's parking portal or mail the request form to Parking Services at 350 S. City Parkway. Do not make a payment, since that cancels the appeal.

Some issues, such as current registration, a valid placard or a paid meter receipt, may qualify for an administrative fine reduction, so call Parking Services at 702-229-4700 first. Decisions arrive by email and letter. If you still owe a balance, you have 30 days to pay, set up a plan, or request a binding Level 2 hearing.
