Parking tickets in Mississauga: how to pay, dispute and what they cost

A Mississauga parking ticket (a “P” ticket) must be paid or disputed within 30 days of being served, online, in person or by mail. The City handles these through its own Administrative Penalty System rather than the courts: a screening officer first, then a hearing officer. Fines run from $40 for an expired meter to $450 for an accessible space.

Disputing a ticket

  • You have 30 days from the date the ticket was served to dispute it online or to ask for an in-person screening.[2] Official page
  • Online, explain why the ticket should be cancelled or changed and attach up to 3 files (JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF, 5 MB each). The City says it is your only chance to submit evidence.[2]
  • In person, an appointment is required: book online or bring a screening request form to the Provincial Offences Office, 950 Burnhamthorpe Road West, Mon–Fri 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.[2]
  • A screening officer can uphold the ticket or cancel, change or extend the time to pay it, if you show the car wasn’t parked against the by-law or that paying in full would cause undue hardship.[4]
  • Missed the 30 days for a special reason? Ask in person for an extension review within 45 days of service; if approved, a screening officer sees you the same day, and that decision is final.[2]
  • Disagree with the in-person screening decision? Ask for a hearing officer within 15 days. The hearing officer’s decision is final.[2]
  • Miss your appointment and you owe the fine plus a $50 screening and a $100 hearing non-appearance fee, a $25 late fee and a $10 Ministry of Transportation search fee. Paying before the appointment cancels it.[3]

Fines and common tickets

  • Parking on a street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. during the prohibited period: $65. Longer than five hours, or longer than the signs allow: $60.[4]
  • Citywide winter parking restriction, declared when the City needs to plow: $150 for parking on the street. Temporary permits are suspended while it is in force.[7]
  • Expired meter: $40. Parking machine with no receipt displayed: $50. Parking in a prohibited area: $85.[4]
  • Within 1 metre of a private road or lane entrance: $40. Within 3 metres of a fire hydrant: $120. Within 5 metres of an intersection: $70.[4]

  • From May 1 to September 30, local roads, City parks and municipal lots south of Lakeshore Road carry a $100 fine for many parking offences, except between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.[7]

Plate denial, towing and good to know

  • If a ticket is neither paid nor disputed by its due date, late fees apply and you cannot renew your licence plate sticker or get new plates until it’s paid.[1]
  • Missing a dispute appointment and leaving the fees unpaid also adds a $20 plate denial fee.[3]
  • Park where “no parking” signs are up (including a municipal lot closed for snow removal) and you may be ticketed and towed; you pay all towing and storage fees.[7]
  • Towed for a parking violation? Peel Regional Police say to go to the police division holding the car with ID, collect a release form, then take it to the tow yard. Non-emergency line: 905-453-3311.[9]
  • Since October 1, 2026 the City can mail a penalty notice to the registered owner when it can’t safely be left on the vehicle, and licence plate recognition cameras are being phased in, starting in school zones.[5]
  • Tickets issued at Pearson airport (numbers starting with M) can’t be disputed through screening; plead not guilty by requesting a trial through the Ontario Court of Justice.[2]
  • Questions about an in-person dispute appointment: Ontario Court of Justice, 905-615-4500.[3]
  • Ticketed on private property? City enforcement there starts from a 311 request (905-615-4311 outside Mississauga); check the ticket itself for contact details.[10]
