If you have previously contested your citation and are unable to pay the fine amount required to further contest your citation (request a hearing) you must supply the issuing agency with satisfactory proof of your inability to pay the amount due by submitting the following:

1. An itemized monthly income and expense statement,
2. A copy of a current signed IRS tax filing,
3. A signed written statement that the information provided is true and correct,
4. A request to waive the fine so you can further contest the citation,
5. Mail your request to:
   Office of Parking Violations
   City of Alameda
   P O Box 11113
   San Jose  CA 95103-1113

 Note:Documents submitted will not be returned.

This information must be submitted within 21 calendar days of the date of your Initial Review Letter. If your proof is accepted, a hearing will be scheduled and you will be notified by mail.

If you are subsequently found liable at the hearing, the total amount of the parking citation must be paid.
