Appealing A CitationParking citations may be appealed online from any computer, or in person using the self-service computers at the TAPS Customer Relations Office. Appeals must be submitted within 15 calendar days of issuance of the citation.
Once the appeal is submitted and processed, judgment decisions are usually issued within 4-6 weeks and will be sent via email to the appellant's official UF address. If the appellant does not have an official UF address, the judgment will be sent to the email address provided on the appeal form, or to the appellant's home address via US mail. The appellant is responsible for contacting Transportation and Parking Services at (352) 392-7275 to check the appeal status if no judgment has been received within 4-6 weeks of appeal submission.
Following the initial appeal decision, a second level appeal may be requested before a University Hearing Authority.
