2-Year Statute of Limitations
Traffic violations are misdemeanors in Georgia with a 2-year statute of limitations. If a ticket is not properly prosecuted within 2 years, it may be challenged.
Legal basis
OCGA; Georgia statute of limitations for misdemeanors
Sample appeal wording
I am challenging Citation #[TICKET#] on statute of limitations grounds. This citation was issued on [DATE], more than two years ago. Under Georgia law, misdemeanor traffic violations have a 2-year statute of limitations. As no proper prosecution has occurred within this period, I request dismissal.
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
