Court costs and boot threats: Denver’s new parking dispute rules raise concerns

DENVER — If you want to dispute a Denver parking citation, you’ll need to make more time in your day to do so from now on.

Until now, parking magistrates have reviewed all disputes submitted online. A Denver County Courts spokesperson told Denver7 that due to recent budget cuts, they are no longer able to staff the online dispute process.

You told us you were worried about what would happen after the online portal shut down - and whether parking citation disputes would have to be made in person.

“It just probably needlessly adds some complexity to the situation that isn't needed right now,” said Denver resident Ryan Evans.

As it turns out, that's precisely what you'll need to do.

First, you’ll need to head to the City and County Building, Room 135, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.
