Where do I pay or appeal a Town parking ticket?

Use the Town’s Pay/Appeal my Parking Ticket page for current payment and appeal instructions. Do not mail money to a random address from an old blog post.

Is a ticket the same as being towed?

No. A citation is a fine process; a tow means the vehicle was removed to impound. If the car is gone, use the towed vehicles guide and Town Towed Vehicle Info—not only the ticket payment page.

How do I avoid another ticket this week?

Read signs every time you park, confirm the posted zone in ParkMobile or Passport (the Town’s current payment apps), and re-check rules during Special Event Zone or paid-parking banners. Screenshot app sessions when you pay by phone.

Can OCEANCITY.MD dispute the ticket for me?

No. Appeals go through Town processes. We only point you to the official page and help you plan parking better next time.

Ticket vs tow
