Administrative Review

If you were issued a parking infraction notice from the Calgary Parking Authority, you may request an administrative review to have it cancelled. When you request a review, a CPA Administrator investigates the infraction notice to determine if an error was made when it was issued and whether it can be withdrawn.

The fine payment schedule pauses once a ticket is submitted for administrative review. Once a review is completed, if your ticket is not withdrawn and you choose to pay the fine, the fine payment schedule will resume on the day you've been contacted by CPA about the outcome.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.

Please note:

• 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. This means that if you intend to dispute the infraction, do not pay the fine.
• If a court conviction has already occurred, the CPA is not allowed to accept a review.
• The registered vehicle owner remains responsible to follow all instructions of the court regardless of the status of this CPA Administrative Review process.
