Parking Information

Reminder: There is a 24-hour time limit to park on any street in the City of St. Charles. This parking time limit supports the premise that City streets are for the movement of vehicles, not the storage of vehicles. If a vehicle is to be parked longer than 24 hours, it must be parked on the owner’s property.

How do I dispute a parking ticket?

This information applies only to parking or ordinance violation tickets issued by the St. Charles Police Department.

If you believe a parking ticket was issued improperly, you may appeal within 7 days of the ticket issue date. To appeal, fill out a Parking Ticket Review Form online or at the St. Charles Police Station front desk, at 1515 W. Main Street in St. Charles, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to midnight, or Saturday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

How do I pay a parking or ordinance violation ticket?

This information applies only to parking or ordinance violation tickets issued by the St. Charles Police Department.

The amount of the fine is identified on the parking ticket unless an appearance is required. If an appearance is required, a hearing officer will determine the fine at an administrative adjudication hearing. Fines vary depending upon the violation and the number of previous tickets for the same violation within the past 12 months. If the ticket has already been adjudicated, the fine may be higher than the amount originally identified on the ticket.
