How to Report Handicap Parking Violations

Parking in a handicapped space without tags is illegal, but it can be difficult to report a handicap parking violation. Many illegal activities should be notified such as running a traffic light, illegally dumping trash, or spraying graffiti, but it’s unclear how to report them.

Road problems can also be challenging to report, such as dangerous potholes, broken traffic lights, or a streetlight out. DoNotPay can help you report all these violations and more, including parking violations and a rat infestation.

This guide will explain how to report problems to the city, the frustration of trying to do this yourself, and how DoNotPay can help you quickly and easily report violations.

How to Report an Issue to the City

There are a variety of ways to report violations to the city, depending on the infraction.

1. Determine who to call. For instance, in the case of handicap parking violations, you’d call the police in some cities, while in others, you’d call the DMV.
2. Call the correct department and give them the license plate of the car in question.
3. Wait until you talk to a person; leaving messages is not very effective.

There are problems with this plan of action. First, you want it to be relatively easy to do when you are doing a good deed. Finding out which city department to report a violation, however, is not easy at all.

With every city being different and the rules constantly changing, sometimes you have to call three or four departments before finding the correct one. And for each department, you have to wait on the phone to talk to someone in person, which also takes time. The amount of information you need may also vary, so you have to spend time giving the person information on the phone.

Why Should I Report Handicap Parking Violations to the City?

Handicap parking is not only the law; it is essential for people who have difficulty walking. When someone violates a handicapped parking space, they can make it impossible for a disabled person to frequent that business.

Most non-disabled people can find other parking farther away and only experience minor inconveniences; therefore, it is essential to report violators to the authorities and it is the right thing to do.

How Can I Gather Evidence to Prove My Handicap Parking Claim?

In this case, gathering evidence is not that difficult. First, you’ll need to get the car’s license plate that violates the statute, and if the vehicle is using a fake handicapped placard, the number on the placard.

However, there are instances where gathering evidence can be difficult. For instance, with pothole damage, it’s unclear to whom to report the violation. If a pothole caused you or your car damage, you may even have to sue the city, but it can be challenging to determine how to do that.

That’s where DoNotPay comes in. They’ll quickly find the correct place to report your violation in the city you’re in, and if you need to sue, DoNotPay makes it easy to collect the evidence you’ll need.
