Spokane Parking Hearing — Director's Office Administrative Review (SMC 16A.61)
Spokane Municipal Code Title 16A allows administrative review of parking citations through the Spokane Parking Services office before judicial referral. SMC 16A.61 provides 14 days from issuance to request administrative review. Documented grounds (meter malfunction, sign defect, ADA placard, mistaken identity) result in administrative dismissal without a court appearance. If denied, you may then request a Spokane Municipal Court hearing under RCW 46.63.090.
