Parking Citations
Parking citations, often left on your car windshield are written to a vehicle found in violation of a County Ordinance or State Statute, and, by law, are the responsibility of the registered owner of the vehicle. For information on payment options, follow the instructions on the parking ticket, and please visit the Clerk of Court's Parking Violations Bureau.
I received a parking ticket/citation and want to request court?
If you are the registered owner of the vehicle, or a person named in an Affidavit to Transfer Liability by the owner as having custody of the vehicle at the time of the violation, you may raise your defense before the court.
If you are not the owner of the vehicle listed in the parking violation, you will need to submit an Affidavit to Transfer Liability from the owner.
If you wish to request a court hearing it must be made within 30 days of the citation issue date. Court hearings are conducted via Zoom. You may download the Request for Court Hearing form and submit it along with a copy of the driver's license.
All documents should be sent via email to parkingCT@miamidadeclerk.gov or via U.S. mail to:
Parking Operations DepartmentOvertown Transit Village South
601 NW 1 Court, 18th Floor
Miami, FL 33136
It is important to know when you request a court hearing:
- The court may impose additional fines, not exceeding $100, plus court costs.
- If you fail to appear in court, you may be found guilty.
What is a registration stop?
If you receive three or more outstanding parking citations or one disabled parking citation, the Department of Motor Vehicles will be notified to issue a stop to the registration of any vehicle in your name. To release the registration stop, you must pay the total amount due. If you need your tag renewed, you must also pay an additional $7 for a Certificate of Compliance to show when renewing your tag.
Payment can be made at the Parking Operations Department or one of our District Court Locations.
