If you’ve disputed a parking violation with a Screening Officer and received a decision that you are unsatisfied with, you may within 15 days, request a review of that decision before an Administrative Penalty Tribunal Hearing Officer. Hearing Officers have the authority to review, affirm, vary or cancel the decision of a Screening Officer and extend time, based on the merits of each case. The hearing officer’s decision is final and there is no further appeal.
The Tribunal is an independent adjudicative body consisting of 25 public panel members referred to as Hearing Officers. Hearing Officers are appointed by City Council and provide a second, independent, and final decision in a parking violation dispute. The Tribunal is governed by the Statutory Powers Procedure Act, its own Rules of Practice and in accordance with Chapter 610 of the Toronto Municipal Code.
You may submit a request for a hearing online or request an in-person review through the online tool.
You can also request a hearing at a Screening Office location.
