Parking Enforcement FAQ

All enforcement is based on the Traffic Bylaw 5590.

What happens if I get too many parking tickets?

The City's parking bylaws are in place for a reason and they play a major role in making Edmonton a great place to live.

By repeatedly parking illegally, you monopolize public space that should belong to everyone and – if you park in an emergency lane, wheelchair accessible stall,  or too close to an intersection – you can even put other people in danger.

That is why the City has a "three strike" rule. If you have received two tickets for the same violation in the same area, your vehicle will automatically be towed if there is a third violation.

If you drive an out-of-province vehicle, warnings count towards your third strike.

What happens when I get a parking ticket?

DAY 01

  • A Parking Enforcement Officer issues a bylaw tag

DAY 15

  • A 'final notice' is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle if the voluntary payment is not made by the due date

DAY 45

  • A 'violation ticket' is created for processing. This ticket will have the required court appearance date printed on it. Failure to attend court may result in a 'conviction in absence.' Please be aware that additional penalties and motor vehicle services denial may be put into effect until all fines and penalties are paid.
