The San Francisco Department of Parking and Traffic issues and collects payment for parking tickets in San Francisco, and also deals with disputed San Francisco parking tickets. If you think that you have unfairly received a San Francisco parking ticket, you can dispute the parking ticket through the Parking Citation and Hearing Divisions at three levels - Administrative Review, Administrative Hearing, and Superior Court. All of these three levels of review for your San Francisco parking ticket must be requested within certain timeframes, or you will lose your right to dispute the ticket. The first two levels of review are purely administrative, or informal, under California law, and are held by the Parking Citation and Hearing Divisions. If you have exhausted both of these levels of review, and you still are unsatisfied, you can file an action with the Superior Court, which will hold a hearing and determine whether you unfairly received a San Francisco parking ticket.
