Parking Enforcement

To pay a parking ticket, choose one of the three methods below:

• Online at www.clarington.net/PayTickets
• In person at the Municipal Law Enforcement Office at 2611 Trulls Road, Courtice
• By cheque, payable to the Municipality of Clarington
  • Please mail cheques to 2611 Trulls Road, Courtice, ON L1E 2N3 or drop it off in the drop box at the Municipal Administrative Centre (40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville) at the north entrance.

If you receive a parking ticket infraction, you have the option to schedule a First Attendance appointment to dispute your ticket within 15 days of issuance. This option is by appointment only and takes place at the Municipal Law Enforcement Office located at 2611 Trulls Road in Courtice. If you or your agent would like to meet with a First Attendance Administrator to dispute or discuss your ticket, you must book an appointment by calling 905-623-3379 ext. 2150.

If you have scheduled an appointment, do not pay your parking violation until the First Attendance Administrator makes a decision on your case. Payment made before a scheduled screening will void your review because your case will be considered resolved, and refunds will not be issued.

This option is a legislated process and is the only way to dispute your parking ticket infraction. Please contact the Municipal Law Enforcement office for any parking-related concerns or questions.
