Ticket Appeal


The CPA offers you the opportunity to appeal your parking ticket by requesting an administrative review. If there is proof the parking ticket was issued in error and the vehicle owner is clearly "not guilty" of an offence, please submit an administrative review.

Please note it takes at least 3 days for a ticket to appear in our system.

Alternatively, you can also submit a review by emailing cpaappeal@calgaryparking.com or faxing 403-537-7104 with the following information:

  • Parking tag/ticket number
  • License plate number
  • Contact name
  • Contact number
  • Contact address
  • Reason for appeal and proof if applicable.

Once submitted, please allow at least 7 to 14 days for processing.

Please note that the fine payment schedule stops once a ticket has been submitted for an administrative review. Once a review is completed, if your ticket is not withdrawn and you choose to pay your parking fine, the fine payment schedule will resume on the day you’ve been contacted by CPA about the outcome. For example, if you submit a review during tier one (first 10 days of receiving the ticket), you would resume in this tier when contacted about its status.

Already submitted? Inquire about the status of your Administrative Review by calling the Parking Enforcement Division at 403-537-7100, option 3 and then press "1".

Please note:

  • The Calgary Parking Authority may not withdraw parking tickets on the basis of compassionate reasons or on the basis of mitigating circumstances. If an appeal is based on compassionate or mitigating circumstances, the matter must be heard by the Provincial Court. Please see Court Appeal for more information.
  • Paid parking tickets are an admission of guilt, and as such an administrative review is unnecessary.
  • If a court conviction has already occurred, the CPA is not allowed to accept a review.
  • The vehicle owner remains responsible to follow all instructions of the court regardless of the status of this Calgary Parking Authority Administrative Review process.
