Orlando 14-Day Notarized Appeal Window

City of Orlando requires written, notarized appeals submitted within 14 calendar days of the citation date. Appeal forms are available at orlando.gov/Parking-Transportation. Failure to meet either the 14-day window or notarization requirement is fatal — but a timely, notarized submission with photos/receipts triggers a hearing in front of a Ninth Judicial Circuit county judge.

Legal basis

Orlando City Code §38.04; F.S. §316.1967

Sample appeal wording

[Use the official City of Orlando appeal form, downloadable from orlando.gov/Parking-Transportation/Parking/Appeal-a-Parking-Ticket. State grounds in Section II, attach exhibits, and have the form notarized before submission.] Grounds: [BRIEF FACTS, e.g., 'Sign at 123 Main St was rotated 90 degrees and not visible from the parked space (Exhibit A photos).' OR 'PayByPhone session 4567 covered citation time (Exhibit B receipt).' OR 'I am the registered owner; vehicle was sold 5/2/2024 to John Doe (Exhibit C bill of sale) and §316.1967(1) shifts liability.'] [NAME] / [DATE] / [NOTARY ACK]

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