Parking Ticket Cases Now Heard in Zoom Court

 

Thanks to a collaboration between the Miami-Dade Courts and Clerk of Courts Parking Violations Bureau, individuals who contest parking tickets and request a court hearing will be able to submit their evidence electronically and participate in their hearings via Zoom.

Parking ticket cases are heard on Zoom every week on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

Drivers who receive a parking ticket they wish to contest should call the number on the ticket to request a court date. Once the case is set for court, the Clerk’s Office will mail the driver a hearing notice containing the Zoom ID and instructions for submitting evidence online, prior to the hearing. A sample hearing notice may be downloaded below.

During the pandemic, the Clerk of Courts Parking Violations Bureau has taken additional steps to make it easier for individuals to conduct business without coming to court – such as providing email and telephone services that formerly were provided in person, and by accepting scanned, emailed copies of documents that formerly had to be originals presented in person.

For more information on resolving parking tickets, visit the Clerk of Courts Parking Citations web page, or call 305-275-1133.
