This review process is administered by SP+ (the City’s on-street parking operator) who closely follows all parking related Annapolis City Code 12.20 -stopping, Standing & Parking) to ensure citations are issued properly, accurately and consistently.

The Office of the State’s Attorney has provided the City of Annapolis, or SP+ as the City’s approved agent, the authority to review and adjust parking citations under limited conditions including:

• Improperly written
• Questionable signs
• Valid reasons stated with clear supporting documentation. Examples include: stolen or transferred vehicle, stolen license plate, owner deceased, permit not visible, pre-paid for parking.

As a matter of policy, the appeal program does not accept the following as grounds for appeal:

• Lack of knowledge of the City’s parking regulations (i.e., I did not know I had to pay)
• No other vehicles were ticketed (i.e., I thought it was OK since no one else paid)
• No designated parking was available
• Failure to have sufficient funds to operate the meters or pay stations

The on-line request for appeal must be received at least 5 days prior to the citation’s due date (10 days from ticket issuance). During the review process there may be a need to provide additional information for consideration. It is, therefore, very important to provide a current and valid e-mail address.

Appeal by Mail: If you prefer to submit the appeal request by mail, please download and print the Appeal Request form and be sure to include all of the required information. Completed Appeal Request forms can be mailed to the following address. Please call 443-648-3087 if you have any questions.
