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)

Sample appeal wording

Baton Rouge Parking Authority [ADDRESS] Re: Citation [CITATION_NUMBER] CONTEST – DEFECTIVE NOTICE / WRONG VEHICLE Grounds: [(a) Late notice — citation dated [DATE], received [DATE], more than 30 days; (b) plate on citation [WRONG] does not match my registration [CORRECT]]. Under Baton Rouge Code Title 11 and La. R.S. §32:398, the citation is invalid. I request dismissal. [NAME] | [ADDRESS] | [DATE]

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
