Parking Tickets

If you receive a parking ticket, you can either pay your fine, have your ticket reviewed, or choose the trial option.

Pay a Parking Ticket

Parking tickets can be paid for online. Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to make sure the correct payment is made. If only partial payment is made, the fine will not be deemed paid and will go into default. Parking tickets older than 50 days cannot be paid online.

Parking tickets can also be paid using one of the following methods:

You can pay by mail to:

City of Belleville
169 Front Street
Belleville, ON K8N 2Y8

  • Cheques or money orders payable only to the City of Belleville
  • Include the ticket number on your payment method
  • Cash or credit card payments are NOT accepted by mail
  • Payments are credited only when received and processed, not on the postmarked day
  • Please note that we do not accept responsibility for the late delivery of mail. Payment is credited only when it is received at our office, not the postmark date.

If the incorrect amount is paid, you will need to attend City Hall and rectify.

You can pay in person at City Hall, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except civic holidays. Accepted forms of payment are:

  • Visa
  • MasterCard
  • Debit
  • Cash
  • Cheque
  • Money Order

You can drop off your payment at our night depository box located at City Hall on the northwest corner of the building at the corner of Front and McAnnany Streets.

Parking tickets will be processed the following day.

We only accept payment by cheque or money order. Do NOT put cash in the envelope.

If the incorrect amount is paid, you will need to attend City Hall and rectify.

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.
