Parking citation appeals must be filed within fifteen (15) days of the issue date of the citation. Appeals must be made in writing on an official Parking Review Board Appeal Form at the office of the Municipal Court, G01C Edgar Brown Union, next door to Parking Services. The Appeal Form can also be accessed at the link below these instructions. You may print the form and either drop it off at the Municipal Court office or fax it to us at 864-656-7116.
- DO NOT PUT APPEAL FORMS IN INTER-OFFICE MAIL. There is no guarantee that the form will be delivered before the fifteen (15) day deadline. Late appeals will not be considered.
- If you park illegally you should assume that you have been cited. Failure to receive notice of the citation does not extend the appeal period.
- It is your responsibility to accurately fill out the appeal form. You must attach the citation (or fax a copy of the citation) AND FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR APPEAL. You may follow up by contacting either the Municipal Court at 864-656-5258 or Parking Services at 864-656-2270.
- If the citation is reduced, the fine must be paid within ten (10) days of the Board’s decision. If your ticket is affirmed (guilty), your appeal does not extend the fifteen (15) calendar day discount period. This automatic discount runs from the date the citation is issued. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING THE DISCOUNT, YOU SHOULD GO AHEAD AND PAY YOUR FINE. If your citation is dismissed or reduced, the difference will be refunded. The discount does not apply to habitual violator citations.
The Parking Review Board, made up of students, faculty and staff, meets on Thursday afternoons at 3:30 p.m. to review all written appeals filed in the previous week. During the summer months the Board meets every other Thursday. Any person desiring to appeal the decision of the Parking Review Board must petition the Parking Review Judicial Officer within five (5) calendar days of the decision of the Parking Review Board. The petition must clearly and concisely state the ground(s) for appeal. The Parking Review Judicial Officer may summarily decline to entertain any such appeal. The municipal court will contact you through e-mail with the decision of the Judicial Officer.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING UP WITH YOUR APPEAL.
DEADLINES WILL NOT BE EXTENDED DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW UP IN A TIMELY MANNER!!!
