Parking citations

Sometimes citations happen

Citations are usually issued when a vehicle does not have a valid permit displayed or when parked in the incorrect zone for the permit. Having a parking permit does not guarantee you a parking space and does not justify parking in the incorrect zone.

Fines and sanctions are the responsibility of the owner of the permit displayed on the vehicle at the time of the violation.

When a vehicle is not registered with us at the time of the violation, fines and sanctions are the responsibility of the vehicle owner as listed in state vehicle registration records if the operator is not associated with IU at the time of the violation.

If you believe that a citation has been issued improperly, you have the option to submit an appeal within 14 days of the date on the citation.

Appeal a citation from any campus

If you believe your citation was issued in error, you have the option to appeal to IU Parking Operations for up to 14 days of the date on the citation.

Appeals may be granted if:

  • There is substantial evidence that you did not commit the violation for which the citation was issued, or
  • Circumstances were not under your control, and prior to being issued the citation, you made some demonstrable attempt to notify IU Parking Operations of the situation—or you can produce written verification from a witness to the situation establishing that the situation was unusual and cannot reasonably occur again.

More information about appeals can be found on individual campus websites.

Appeal a citation issued on any campus

Citations from any campus may be appealed through the Citation Appeal Application that can be accessed online in the Parking Portal.

If you are unable to submit your appeal using the online application, you may send your citation and written appeal information to:

IU Parking Operations
Henderson Parking Garage
310 S. Fess Avenue
Bloomington, IN 47401
