No. There are no additional fees or charges applied with paying a parking ticket online.

Why isn't the ticket information available when I enter my ticket number or licence plate number?
There are a few possible reasons for this, including:

  • The ticket is recently issued. You can still proceed with paying for your ticket online, all you need is the ticket number or your license plate number.
  • The ticket is paid.

Why can't my ticket be paid online?
There are a few possible reasons for this, including:

  • The ticket is paid.
  • The ticket has been forwarded to the Provincial Court for processing. Payment may be able to be made through the Alberta Fine Payment System online if you have the Provincial Part 3 Violation Notice. Please contact Inspections and Licensing for more information.

I'm paying my ticket early but the reduced amount doesn't show up in the selections. What should I do?
Select the non-reduced payment amount. If you are paying the ticket in the early payment timeframe, the next screen will display the reduced amount.

Why can't I make a partial payment on the ticket?

Only the full amount on the ticket or notice can be accepted. City Council sets the fine amount for all City Bylaws and the Alberta Government sets the fine amount for Highway Traffic Act offences.

Why is the ticket amount displayed on the web payment screen different from the written amount on the ticket?
Your ticket may qualify for an early payment deduction. The web screen automatically adjusts fine amounts to reflect an early payment.

When I pay online, what will I receive as proof of payment?
When you complete the online payment process, you will be given the option to print out a receipt on your printer. Failing that, your authorization number from the credit card company is your proof of payment.
