How much time do I have to pay my ticket?
A citation ticket is a parking ticket that should be paid within 15 days after issuance or placed on the court docket for a hearing.  After the 15 day grace period, any vehicle that has 3 or more unpaid citation tickets issued against it is subject to impoundment until all the tickets are paid. 

A summons ticket is a ticket issued by an officer to a violator, signed by the violator, and has a court date on the bottom of the ticket. Unless the ticket is marked mandatory, it is payable for the first 15 days after receipt. 

If the ticket is not paid within 15 days after receipt, the violator must appear in court on the scheduled court date on the bottom of the ticket, and additional costs may be assessed. 

Failure to pay within 15 days or appear in court will result in a default judgment being taken the violator. 

Failure to pay a default judgment within 30 days may result in the suspension of the violator’s driver’s license. 

An ordinance summons is a ticket issued for ordinance violations other than traffic offenses and requires a mandatory court appearance.

Or, you can pay in person from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at any of the following precincts:

• Any violation resulting in serious personal injury.

• Speeding in excess of 25 MPH over the posted speed limit.
