Can DoNotPay save me some time?

BBC on DoNotPay's app to appeal parking tickets

DoNotPay can save you hours and hours. Although the procedure of sending your appeal in Las Vegas is relatively simple, making your case is not. You are required to write a detailed letter explaining why you disagree with the citation. You need to include evidence that will make your citation invalid, as well as cite specific laws. To do all this by yourself, you would need to study the parking rules and regulations of Las Vegas and be familiar with laws related to parking violations.

If you use DoNotPay, you won’t have to do any research on these topics. Our app has an extensive database of all Las Vegas regulations. All you need to do is explain your situation, and the app will compile a letter that will challenge your ticket. That way, it will save you both time and effort.

Do I have to hire a lawyer to dispute a citation?

NPR covering DoNotPay's app to contest parking tickets

No, there is no reason for you to hire a lawyer to contest a parking citation. If having a legal representative by your side would make you more confident, bear in mind that finding the right person for the job is a time-consuming ordeal. When hiring a lawyer for your ticket dispute, make sure to take the following steps:

  1. Watch out for frauds. Las Vegas is full of con men who are more than ready to take advantage of you.
  2. Look for attorneys with experience in parking ticket cases. Hiring someone who specializes in another field would be a waste of both time and money.
  3. Check every candidate’s credentials. Look for online reviews from their old clients and compare their pricing.
  4. Interview each candidate to see if they are a good fit for you and your case.
  5. Calculate the costs. You don’t want to spend more on your lawyer than what you will get from the dispute.

How much does an attorney cost in Las Vegas?

A lawyer in Las Vegas can charge you anywhere between $200 and $1000. The prices usually depend on their experience and reputation. Of course, a first-rate lawyer could charge you even more. Taking these numbers into consideration, paying the fine is usually more profitable than hiring someone to help you contest it.

Is disputing my city of Las Vegas parking ticket a waste of time?

No, it never is! If you dispute your ticket with DoNotPay, you have nothing to lose. The whole process will last only a couple of minutes, and you will either get away with your violation completely or get a reduced fine.

If you’re worried there are no grounds for a dispute, don’t be. DoNotPay specializes in identifying loopholes that will make your ticket void. Here are some things that could defeat your ticket:

  • Parking restrictions in the street are unclear or contradictory
  • The street sign paint is faded
  • The handwriting on your citation is illegible
  • You weren’t the owner of the vehicle when the citation was issued
  • There are factual errors in any of the information on the citation, including:
    • The type of vehicle
    • The make, year, and model of the vehicle
    • The color of the vehicle
    • The registration status of the vehicle
    • The license plate number
    • Precise time and date
    • Specific location (street, city, county, and state)

As you can see, there are many ways we could challenge your ticket. The traditional approach to appealing is maybe not worth it, and it’s easier to just pay for the fine. But with the DoNotPay app, contesting the citation is always better than paying.

How do I pay a parking fine in Las Vegas?

If you’ve lost your dispute or just want to get it all over with it, the only thing left to do is to pay the fine. Depending on the severity of your parking violation, the fine can cost you between $20 and $250. There are several methods of payment:

  1. Online payment: this is the preferred method in the city of Las Vegas, as well as the easiest. All you need to do is to complete this form.
  2. In person at the City of Las Vegas Parking Services Office, 350 S. City Parkway., Las Vegas, NV 89101
  3. By mail: you will find the mailing address on your ticket.

The city of Las Vegas has also organized charity events that you can take part in instead of paying for the ticket. In 2019, the city allowed drivers to pay the fines in food donations. You can read more about this program on this Quora thread. Before paying for your citation, check out the city of Las Vegas website to see if there are any ongoing events of this kind.

If you cannot afford to pay for the citation, you can ask for a Time Payment Installment Plan. If your request is granted, you will have up to six months to pay the fine in monthly installments.

Paying the fine is beneficial only if you don’t have another choice. Always try to dispute your ticket with DoNotPay first!

Will parking citations go on my record?

No, your tickets won’t end up on your driving record. If you refuse to pay the fine, however, the DMV will be notified, and they may cause trouble when you try to renew your car registration.

Will my car insurance go up?

If you pay or dispute the ticket, your insurance company will never find out about it, and your insurance rates won’t increase. If you fail to pay the fine on time and the DMV refuses to renew your registration, most companies, such as Geico, won’t accept to insure your vehicle.

I can’t or don’t want to pay for the ticket. What’s the worst thing that can happen?

Unfortunately, parking citations don’t have an expiry date, so you can’t just ignore it and wait until it disappears. Failure to pay the fine in Las Vegas comes with several unpleasant consequences:

  • After 30 days, the penalty will increase
  • After 45 days, the penalty will get even higher
  • After 90 days, your case will be handed over to the DMV

Once the DMV finds out about your violation, they will suspend your car registration and charge you several additional fees. You won’t be able to drive your car until you pay the fine. They can also send your case to a collection agency, which comes with even more fees.

Do I have to pay for the ticket if I don’t live in Nevada?

Yes, you do. When it comes to parking violations, leaving the state won’t be of any help. The parking officer who handed you the citation has your license plates and personal information, so the ticket will come at your home address.

Do I need to pay for the ticket if I got it in a rental car?

Yes, you do. Although the ticket will be sent to the company that owns the car, you will still be responsible for paying for it. Car rental companies, such as Sixt, usually pay for their clients’ tickets and then charge their credit cards for all expenses, including additional administrative fees. You can read more about similar experiences on this Reddit thread.

Can I get a parking citation while I’m inside the car?

Yes, you can. If you stop your car in a restricted area, it doesn’t matter if you’re sitting inside or not. Still, you can ask the parking officer nicely to let you go if you move the car at once.
