Dispute a Parking Ticket

Step One

The first step to dispute a parking penalty notice (ticket) is by booking a screening with a screening officer at the Town of Lincoln by: 

* Screening Requests must be submitted within 15 days of the date of issuance of the parking ticket.

* Screenings are conducted via written submission, telephone or in-person and must be indicated within the request form. 

* Requested in-person screenings are conducted at 4317 Central Avenue, Beamsville (the former Beamsville District Secondary School) on Thursdays as assigned.

Screening Process

The Screening Officer Will:

  • review all information provided by you (the appellant) for consideration (dispute allegation of contravention or provide extenuating circumstance i.e. emergency/hardship).
  • review the offence notice.
  • review the evidence of the issuing officer, including notes and photographs.
  • review the pertinent by-law and provision.

*Upon completion of the above, the Screening Officer will take all information in its totality into consideration and will render a Determination.

Determination:

  • affirm the offence notice and set fine.
  • withdrawn the offence notice and set fine.
  • affirm the offence notice and amend/vary the set fine and/or provide extension of time to remit payment.

*Once the determination is made, you (the appellant) will receive a copy of the determination letter.

Step Two

Once a determination is made in the screening, if the appellant does not agree with the decision, they then have the option to appeal by making a request for a hearing by:

 A person may request a review of a Screening Decision by a Hearing Officer, only after a screening determination has been delivered. The request for Hearing must be made within 15 days of screening determination.

Failure to attend at a scheduled Hearing will result in the Penalty Fee imposed from Screening Determination and Administrative Penalties.

On review of a Screening Determination, the Hearing Officer may:

  1. Affirm
  2. Cancel
  3. Vary or extend the time for payment

Neither a Screening or Hearing Officer has jurisdiction to consider questions relating to the validity of a statute. Regulation or By-law or the constitutional applicability or operability of any statute. Regulation or By-law.
