Denver DOTI 14-Day Online Contest Window — DRMC 54-815

Denver Revised Municipal Code 54-815 allows a registered owner 14 calendar days from issuance to dispute a parking citation online via the Denver Parking Magistrate (https://www.denvergov.org/Parking). After 14 days the right to administrative review evaporates and the citation goes to collections at higher cost. Common winning grounds at DOTI Magistrate: meter malfunction (with photo), expired sign / no sign, valid ADA placard, ParkMobile transaction proof, vehicle not at location (alibi), plate misread, registered owner already sold the vehicle.

Legal basis

DRMC 54-815; DRMC 54-820; CRS 42-4-1709
