Did you receive a yellow parking violation notice? You have two options, pay your parking violation or dispute it.
Pay your parking violation online, by mail, or in person.
Once a full or partial payment is made either to the City of Toronto, or at Service Ontario, the matter is considered resolved and will not be reviewed. This includes payments made to pending screening decisions.
Parking violations can be disputed online or in-person by appointment only.
Within 15 days of receiving your parking violation notice you can request a review. If you missed this deadline, you can request an extension.
If you request a review, do not pay your parking violation until a decision has been made by a Screening Officer. Payment made before a Screening Review will void your review because your case will be considered resolved.
Please note that screening decisions will no longer be provided immediately after an in-person meeting. A screening decision letter will be emailed (or letter mailed in case an email address is not provided) to you within 120 days of your online submission or in-person appointment.

Please note, any information you provide will be part of a public record.
One of our Screening Officers will review your online review form and affirm, vary or cancel the penalty, or vary or cancel any fees based on rules outlined in the Administrative Penalty By-law.
You will be emailed a decision with the outcome of the review. All decision documents and correspondence from Screening Officers will only be sent from the email address apsinquiry@toronto.ca.
The current wait time for online screening reviews to be completed is 120 days from the date of submission.
If you are not satisfied with the result of your review, you can request a second and final review with an Administrative Penalty Tribunal Hearing Officer.

The City’s process to dispute parking violations – the Administrative Penalty System (APS) – makes requesting a review faster, easier and more convenient.
The City of Toronto does not send emails about outstanding parking fines or issue reminders through a third party. If you receive such an email, do not click on any of the links – simply delete the email. Outstanding parking tickets or violation notices can be viewed and paid using the City’s Parking Ticket Services online application.
