Colorado Springs Parking Code 3.4 — Administrative Hearing & Mitigation
Colorado Springs Municipal Code Chapter 3.4 governs parking enforcement through the Downtown Parking System and CSPD Parking Enforcement. Citations are administratively reviewable within 21 days; if administrative review is denied, the matter goes to Municipal Court. Common dismissals: meter malfunction (Pay-by-Plate kiosks; LAZ Parking-managed system), faded sign, ADA placard, valid contractor permit. Mitigation hearings can reduce fines to $0-$15.
