Baton Rouge Parking Authority – Improper Notice & Plate Match
Baton Rouge Parking Authority operates downtown Baton Rouge meters and lots. Citations issued via the new digital system have suffered from plate-number OCR errors and notice-mailing delays. The Authority's enabling ordinance (Baton Rouge Code Title 11) requires notice within 30 days of issuance. Late or undelivered notice voids the late-fee escalation and may void the underlying citation.
Legal basis
Baton Rouge / East Baton Rouge Parish Code Title 11; La. R.S. §32:398; La. C.C.P. art. 1201 (citation requirements analogously)
