Questions and contesting a ticket

• Every ticket goes through a review, and tickets issued in obvious error are cancelled. The City suggests waiting 2 business days, then searching your ticket number to see if it still stands.^[2] Official page
• To talk through your options, contact Customer Service at 306-975-2400 or 1-800-667-9944 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.), at revenue@saskatoon.ca, or at the main floor of City Hall.^[2]
• To contest a ticket, you go to court. A summons notice with your court date is mailed to you. If you can’t make that date, call City Hall to change it before the court date.^[2]
• The City says it is your responsibility to enter your licence plate correctly when you pay, to read the signs, and to display any permit. A mistyped plate, a forgotten permit or not knowing you had to pay isn’t accepted as an excuse.^[2]
• If you don’t pay the discounted amount in time but pay the full penalty before your court date, you won’t be prosecuted for that ticket.^[4]

• On a snow route while a declaration is in effect, or in a street maintenance area during a parking ban: $110, with no discount.^[4]
• In a fire lane, or in a space reserved for people with disabilities: $210, with no discount.^[4]

Unpaid tickets, collections and impound

• An unpaid ticket leads to a Notice of Pending Summons and then a summons with a court date, both sent by regular mail. If you don’t attend, a final conviction letter follows, and the City can impound your vehicle with no further notice.^[3]
• Since June 1, 2026 the City has authorized Action Collections and Receivables Management (1-877-576-1092) to collect unpaid parking fines, with a focus on out-of-town residents. Unpaid fines may lead to seizure and impoundment without notice.^[1]
• The City can tow vehicles that are unregistered, have unpaid parking fines, or are parked in violation of the Traffic Bylaw. Vehicles blocking street sweeping or a snow route are moved to a nearby street.^[3]
• Reclaim a seized vehicle at the Impound Lot, 150 Jonathon Avenue (306-657-8526): Monday to Friday 11 a.m.–7 p.m., Saturday 12–4 p.m., closed Sundays and holidays. Bring ID, the vehicle registration, and payment of all fines and fees.^[3]
• Impound costs: the tow itself (actual cost, $100–$200), an impound fee of $77, an administration fee of $50, and $20 a day for storage. The lot takes cards and debit, not cash.^[3]
• A vehicle not claimed within 30 days may be sold at auction or scrapped, and the money applied to costs and the ticket balance.^[3]
