Outsourced since 2000, Raleigh's on-street parking program was returned under City management and staff on June 1, 2010 with the goal of providing greater professionalism and improved customer service.

"ParkLink" is the branded program name which is seen on all City-owned parking facilities as well as on the uniforms and vehicles of our City employees. ParkLink is responsible for parking enforcement, collections, parking meters, permits and maintenance/improvements of all City-owned parking decks and lots.

Parking Enforcement Field Agents

Parking Enforcement

Field Agents endeavor to conduct enforcement with fairness and impartiality. Agents do not have the power or the ability to cancel a citation/ticket once it has been issued. The only way it can be dealt with is by paying the fine or by appealing the citation/ticket.

Paying a Parking Citation in Person at the Revenue Services Lobby

Paying a Citation

There are three ways to pay a parking fine: by mail, online payment or in person at the City's Revenue Services Lobby located on the first floor of the Avery C Upchurch Municipal Complex, 222 West Hargett Street.

Parking Citation Payments >>

Appealing A Parking Citation

Appealing a Parking Citation

The ParkLink program provides an appeal process for individuals who feel unjustly cited for a parking violation. Appeals must be received not later than twenty-one (21) days from the date of issuance of the ticket.
