Citation
A notice of a parking violation, usually carrying a fee.
A citation is the formal record that a vehicle broke a parking rule, issued to the vehicle or to the household responsible for it, usually with a fee attached and a date by which it must be paid or disputed.
A citation on private property is a contractual charge rather than a fine in the legal sense, and it is only as strong as the evidence behind it and the dispute process offered against it. A citation that cannot be appealed is the one most likely to end up in front of a board; a citation with a photograph, a timestamp and a written decision rarely gets that far.
