For more information about how to file a review or appeal, please refer to your citation or please call the phone number on your parking ticket or delinquent notice. Requests for reviews or appeals submitted through Paymycite.com technical contact page will not be addressed.

10. The citation is updated with your payment as soon as you successfully complete your transaction (you obtain the receipt page with your transaction number). If you have cause to believe that your transaction completed but the system did not update, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE SAME PAYMENT. This is to ensure that you do not submit a duplicate payment.
