Refer to the following Parking Violation Cost Table for the amount due per Parking violation type. Add $9 if the Fine is not paid within 10 business days of the Parking Ticket being issued.

YES, legally the registered owner of a vehicle is responsible for any Parking Tickets issued to his/her vehicle.

3) I inserted enough coins into a Parking Meter that should have paid for ‘one hour' of parking, but when I started to walk away I noticed that "no time" was showing on the meter. I inserted another coin and it did not register either. Since I had actually paid to park, I remained at that spot and left a note on my windshield about what happened. I guess the Officer did not see the note because I still received a Parking Ticket. Any suggestions?

Report the faulty meter # to Knoxville's 311 Call Center (just dial "311"), and the City's Traffic Engineering Department will check into repairing the parking meter. Then make note of the meter # and the problem on your Parking Ticket; return your Parking Ticket to City Court with your note that includes your name and address, but do not pay the ticket.

If your "faulty meter"report is confirmed then your ticket will be dismissed. If not, you will receive a letter noting that you still owe the Parking Ticket Fine.

4) My vehicle has been IMPOUNDED (TOWED). What do I do? Where do I go to recover my vehicle?

FIRST - pay any unpaid Parking Tickets at City Court.

SECOND - to recover your impounded vehicle, go to the City's Vehicle Impoundment Lot in East Knoxville located at 3407 Vice Mayor Jack Sharp Boulevard, Knoxville, Tennessee 37914.

You must bring these items to the Impound Lot:

5) I received a letter about a Parking Ticket issued to my car, but MY CAR DID NOT RECEIVE THAT PARKING TICKET! What should I do?

A Parking Ticket is issued to a vehicle license plate (tag) since the vehicle driver is usually not present when the Parking Ticket is written. Normally the driver is the owner of the vehicle, and normally the person who receives a Parking Ticket, whether it be the vehicle owner or not, will pay the Parking Ticket.

When a Parking Ticket goes unpaid, the Court will send a letter about the unpaid Parking Ticket to the vehicle owner. If the vehicle owner was the driver when the ticket was issued, the letter will serve as more of a reminder. However, when the vehicle had been "loaned-out", the registered owner is still considered responsible for any Parking Tickets, so the matter becomes more of a personal issue between the vehicle owner and whom-ever was using the vehicle at the time.

BUT, IF YOU/YOUR VEHICLE HAVE NOT BEEN IN KNOXVILLE TO RECEIVE A PARKING TICKET, and/or the vehicle described in the letter is not even remotely close in description to yours, then there may be an error due to the State issuing your tag # more than once.

If you believe that may have happened to you, send an email to this Court at citycourt@cityofknoxville.org with the following information:

6) I received a Parking Ticket that I do not believe is justified. How does one go about APPEALING A PARKING TICKET?

Ask at City Court for further details, for a copy of the Parking Ticket Appeal Form and about scheduling of your Appeal Court Date.

	You will need to complete and sign the Parking Ticket Appeal Form at the City Court Service Counter.
	Your Appeal Court Date will be scheduled based on the Officer's availability for Court, since a Court Hearing is required.
