The Union City Police Department has a Parking Citation Review process for anyone contesting a parking citation. The contestant must provide a reason why the citation should be dismissed within 21 days from the issuance, or within 14 days from the mailing of the notice of delinquent parking violation penalty fees. Personal reasons, inconvenience, lack of funds, forgetfulness, failure to observe signs, lack of available parking elsewhere, lack of knowledge of the applicable restrictions, and similar or related matters are not a defense for parking violations. If citation is upheld, all fees are due and must be paid within 30 days of the mailing of the determination.

You may appeal the determination by an Administrative Hearing Officer by filling out and submitting an Appeal of Administrative Review form within 30 calendar days of the determination. The form is available at the Police Department’s front counter during normal business hours. This form is also available online. The form should be saved or printed as the information placed in the required fields will not be saved. To download, click on Administrative Review.
