Hearing Pre-Payment Waiver
Pre-Payment Waivers are available for motorists who meet the low income guidelines in the Federal Register by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
- If your Pre-Payment Waiver is approved, the City of Los Angeles will allow a hearing without payment of the parking penalty.
- This Pre-Payment waiver does NOT cancel your fine. It simply allows you to attend a Hearing without first paying the fine required by state law. If your citation is found valid, you still must pay the fines.
- If your Pre-Payment Waiver request is denied, the parking penalty must be paid for the hearing to proceed. If not paid timely, you will no longer be entitled to an Administrative Hearing.
You will be required to provide detailed income information as part of your Pre-Payment Waiver request. The PVB will consider all forms of income, while determining your eligibility for the waiver.
A request for a Pre-Payment Waiver can be made by:
