Start with the official record. Keep your citation number, license plate, and any photos or confirmation handy.
Pay or dispute a parking ticket
The city lists payment as due within 14 days. If you believe a ticket was issued in error, use its dispute process promptly; the initial dispute window is generally 65 calendar days. Read your notice and the current city instructions for your case.
Payment plans have conditions, including giving up disputes for citations included in a plan. Review the terms before enrolling.

Search the city’s tow record first. If the vehicle does not appear, contact the tow lot at 414-286-2700; a private tow or relocation may need a different lookup.

Check current hours and retrieval requirements. The city generally requires identification, a licensed driver, valid insurance, and payment of accumulated charges. Collecting a vehicle for someone else requires additional authorization. Use the city’s checklist before making the trip.
