Pay the Parking Ticket
You are required to respond to a parking ticket within 30 days of the date the ticket was issued;  otherwise penalties will be added to the original fine. After 30 days Finance sends a notice for any unpaid parking violation. If you receive a notice and you believe you have already paid that ticket,  make sure the ticket numbers on the notice match your records. You can request copies of original tickets online.

You can pay your ticket(s) in several ways:

Pay Online
Use your credit or debit card. There is a $2.00 per ticket service fee. Note: All payments must be in US currency.

Pay by Mail

Make your payment to “NYC Department of Finance,” and put the ticket number, your license plate number, and the state of the vehicle registration on the front of your payment.
