Ticket Appeals

Parking & Transportation Services strictly enforces parking regulations, primarily to assure safety, but also to protect the rights of those who purchase permits and adhere to the regulations.

Occasionally, a mistake is made or there are extenuating circumstances. If you wish to appeal your citation, you must do so within 14 calendar days from the date the citation was issued. (Remember that if you get a ticket on a Tuesday, 14 calendar days is the second Monday, not the second Tuesday.)

You can download the appeals form by clicking here or pick up a form at the Parking & Transportation Services office (Building 52).

Appeal requests must be received in the Parking Services Office (hand-delivered to Building 52, faxed to 904-620-1024 or mailed to Parking & Transportation Services, University of North Florida, 1 UNF Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32224-2645) within 14 calendar days from the date of the citation. If you choose to appear before the Appeals Board, you will be notified by mail and/or e-mail (if provided) of your hearing date and time. If you fail to appear at the scheduled hearing or you do not submit a statement by 9:00 a.m. on the date of the hearing, your appeal will be automatically denied.

If you are a student, your case will be heard by the Student Appeals Board. If you are a visitor, faculty member or staff member, your case will be heard by the Parking Violations Appeal Board.

The appeals board may approve your appeal, deny your appeal, deny your appeal but reduce the fine, or deny your appeal for failure to appear. All decisions of the appeals boards are final.

If your appeal is denied, payment must be made within 14 calendar days or late fees and other penalties, including administrative action and vehicle immobilization may be assessed.
