How do I contest a parking ticket?
You may contest citations online at PayMyCite.com, or you may send a written explanation (official forms are available in the front office at the Arcata Police Department) of why you feel you are not liable for the citation and send it to:
Request for Citation Review/Hearing
Parking Citation Service Center
Post Office Box 11923
Santa Ana, CA 92711


You may also call 888-919-5525. If you contest a citation and you are still held liable, you may pay the citation or deposit the amount of the citation and request an administrative hearing. You may make this request in person at the Arcata Police Department Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.PayMyCite.com/Arcata
