City of Cape Girardeau - Parking-Violation

Parking Violations

Parking Violation Notice tickets are issued by law enforcement, not by the Municipal Court. The court serves as a collection agency for payment of fines from parking violations. Questions about the issuance of a ticket should be directed to the issuing agency or a description of the violation may be found in the City of Cape Girardeau's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 26 Article VI - Stopping, Standing and Parking.

If you are requesting a court appearance on a parking violation you must request a Uniform Citation from the Cape Girardeau Police Department for a court date. The initial parking ticket placed on your vehicle is not a Citation, only a notice that a violation has been committed.

WARNING: A warrant will be issued for your arrest (or) a Suspension of your Drivers License will occur if you fail to appear in court or your payment has not been received by your scheduled appearance date.
