Can I contest a parking violation if my car was towed?

Yes, you can contest a parking violation if your car was towed in Los Angeles. To contest it, you need to request an Administrative Review within 21 calendar days from the date of the citation. You can do this online, by mail, or in person at the Parking Violations Bureau (PVB). The PVB will review your case and provide you with a written decision within 30 days of receiving your request. If you disagree with the decision, you have the option to request a hearing before an administrative hearing examiner. It is important to note that requesting a hearing does not stop the accumulation of penalties. If you are unable to resolve the violation, you may need to pay the fine and any towing or storage fees before retrieving your vehicle from the impound.
