Parking Clerk
We collect and mediate disputes of fines and fees from parking tickets. We also manage Boston’s resident parking program.
Our primary mission is to respond effectively to questions about parking tickets, resolve any disagreements through an adjudication process, and to deter illegal parking by successfully collecting parking violation fines. We also adjudicate and collect fines on abandoned vehicles and issue permits for resident parking.
Please note:- Boston City Hall is open for in-person services, but most transactions with our office can be done online.
- Scheduled parking ticket appeal hearings are conducted Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. For questions, call 617-635-4410 (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) or email parking@boston.gov.
