Parking Ticket Review
Parking ticket reviews must be completed in-person at City Hall (169 Front St.) and should be submitted as soon as possible after the ticket was issued.
The review is based only on the ticket's validity, not extenuating circumstances surrounding it. The review is focused on administration errors only, such as:
- a valid City of Belleville parking permit or voucher was displayed in the vehicle (proof of permit required)
- a valid Accessible Parking Permit was properly displayed in the vehicle (proof of permit required)
Trial Option
You may submit a Notice of Intention to appear in court regarding your parking ticket. This option can be found on the reverse side (pink copy) of your ticket under Defendants Options.
Please note:
- Every parking ticket comes with a 15-day deadline to either pay the fine or dispute the ticket.
- If you neither dispute the ticket nor pay the fine before the 15-day deadline, a Notice of Impending Conviction (NIC) will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle – at this point, you can still dispute your ticket or pay the fine.
- If you do not respond by the due date on the NIC, a Notice of Fine and Due Date (NFDD) showing the set fine, plus court costs will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle, which will result in an automatic conviction that is registered with the Ministry of Transportation.
- If the set fine, including the additional court costs, is not paid by the due date shown on the NFDD, the offence becomes eligible for plate denial and the matter then goes to the Ministry of Transportation.

What If I Don't Pay My Parking Ticket?
If you do don't pay or dispute you parking ticket, your fine will increase after 50 days. After 95 days, there will be additional fees added by the Ministry of Transportation/Service Ontario.
