 Parking Information & Maps

NOTE: NO APPEAL SHALL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 21 CALENDAR DAYS OF CITATION ISSUANCE.

Complainant,

If you feel you have incorrectly been issued a parking citation by the Palomar College Campus Police Department, you may appeal the citation by completing the Parking Citation Internal Review Form. 

Upon receipt of this completed form, the Parking Citation Internal Administrative Reviewer will review the citation, your explanation and the officer’s explanation. You will be notified by mail within 3 to 5 weeks of the panel's decision. The Parking Citation Internal Administrative Reviewer is the final District authority concerning such reviews on campus. 

Follow the steps outlined below before, during, and after any request(s) for appeal or review of issued citations.  

  1. The citation should remain in your possession until you receive an official  letter determining the disposition of the citation.

  2. If you have appealed a citation, you are not required to make payment on that citation until you receive a response from the Administrative Reviewer.

  3. Any decision by the Administrative Reviewer will be mailed to the address indicated on the submitted appeal form.

There are two ways to submit a Parking Citation Internal Review Form.

* During normal business hours

There are three (3) levels  to appealing parking citations (California Vehicle Code 40215 and 40230): 

  • Level 1 consists of an appeal/administrative review completed by Adjudication.

  • Level 2 consists of an administrative hearing completed by a qualified hearing examiner either by written declaration or personal conference.  NOTE: Proof of payment of citation is required.

  • Level 3 consists of a court hearing at Vista Superior Court.  NOTE: $25 Court Fees apply.

Parking citations are legal documents.  The Palomar College Police Department personnel who write parking citations are mandated to carry out this authority by the California Vehicle Code and Palomar College.

Under no circumstances shall a personal relationship with any officer, public official or law enforcement agency be grounds for dismissal.

If you have additional questions contact the Campus Police Department at (760) 744-1150 x2289. 

This Form Complies with California Vehicle Code Section 40215 (a), (b), (c).
