How do I contest a citation?
The State of California Department of Motor Vehicle Code mandates that anyone contesting a parking citation complete a full review process. You may contest your parking ticket within 21 days of the issuance of the citation or 14 days from the mailing date of the courtesy reminder notice.
You can appeal online here
. City employees or the City Council cannot simply dismiss a parking citation. There is a standard 3-step appeal process that all citizens must follow:
Step 1: Administrative Review
Appeals must be first submitted here.
Within 30 days, the Thousand Oaks Police Department Traffic Bureau will review the citation based on the written information you have provided to determine if there is sufficient proof to rule that: - the violation did not occur; the registered owner was not responsible, or extenuating circumstances prevented you from complying. An email will be sent to you with the results of this review. If you are found to be “Not Liable,” the citation will be dismissed and your citation will be canceled. You will not need to take any further action.
If you are found to be “Liable,” you may schedule an administrative hearing to be conducted by an independent hearing officer (step 2).
Step 2: Administrative Hearing
If you are not satisfied with the results of the Administrative/Initial Review, you may request an Administrative Hearing either in person or by written declaration. You must request an Administrative Hearing within 21 days of the date of the Administrative/Initial Review decision. After 21 days you are no longer eligible for an Administrative Hearing.
To schedule an Administrative Hearing, please contact the Finance Department at (805) 449-2201 extension 3, no later than the due date identified on the results letter. Hearings are held at Thousand Oaks City Hallon the first Tuesday of every month.
State law requires that all fines owed on the citation are paid before you can request an Administrative Hearing.
If the Administrative Hearing is ruled in your favor, you will be issued a refund.
Step 3: Appeal
If you are found liable by the hearing officer and wish to continue contesting the citation, you may appeal the decision at Superior Court. You must request an appeal within 30 days of the Hearing Officer's decision and file for the appeal in person at the Superior Court. There is a filing fee per citation required by the Court, which will be refunded to you if the commissioner rules in your favor. You will also need to present the written Administrative Hearing decision at the time the appeal is filed. The written administrative hearing decision is submitted as evidence for the court appeal.
