The Nyack Parking Authority issues Parking Tickets that help regulate the safety and enforce the rules on the local roads of the Village. Enforcement tickets issued may include meter violations, expired inspections and registrations, double parking, loading zones, alternate side rules, no parking anytime, etc. 

For rules and guidelines on parking in the Village of Nyack, or to inquires on the status of a parking ticket, please contact the Nyack Parking Authority directly. Temporary Signs may be posted for street fairs, festivals, parades, construction and road closures that may result in enforcement changes. 

Appeal a Parking Ticket: 

Review of Parking Tickets Without Court Appearance: The Court Clerk’s Office is accepting tickets for review by the Court without requiring a court appearance under the following circumstances:

  1. Typographical errors entered electronically or through a kiosk.
  2. Proof of payment for the time-period and zone in question.
  3. Problems with inspection stickers from windshield replacement
  4. Parking permit pass with proof provided.
  5. Paying for the wrong zone but displaying the proper times.
  6. Handicap parking with proof provided.
  7. Wrong license plate chosen on the parking app.

Individuals contesting tickets which meet these criteria can present the ticket to the Court Clerk’s Office with appropriate proof of the claimed error.  All information on the back of the ticket must be completed and proper identification provided.  

Personnel in the Court Clerk’s Office and the Village Clerk’s Office will determine whether a contested ticket meets the above criteria.  Tickets accepted by the Clerk’s office for review are not considered dismissed, and individuals challenging tickets will be notified of the Court’s decision or if further action is required.  The Justice Court will only keep electronic records of tickets reviewed in this manner.  All physical correspondence submitted will be returned to the Village Clerk’s office.

Ticket’s not meeting the criteria for administrative review may still be contested at regularly scheduled court dates.  Any issues regarding administrative review of tickets will be addressed to the Village Justice.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Ryan Bates, Court Clerk, at (845) 358- 4464. 

 

Disputing all other Parking Tickets:

Motorists may appear to a regularly scheduled court sessions, that may be routinely held on Thursday mornings, starting at 9:30am to engage in an Informal Hearing to the circumstances of the ticket in question.  Please be sure to bring all related documentation on with you.  To ensure court is held on the day you wish to appear, we recommend you check the court schedules for cancellations, hearings, trials, etc. that would affect the regular schedule. 

You do not need to wait for the date on your Parking Ticket Citation to dispute or pay.  You may pay the ticket after the first 24 hours of receiving it.  Just as you may attend an Informal Hearing in court as soon as the next available court date. 

Tickets that are delinquent may result in a vehicle in boot, being towed or impounded.  Debt collections and credit issues may also result in delinquent tickets.  Please be prompt in resolving tickets.  Some costs resulting in delinquencies cannot be waived. 

Vehicle and Traffic

Uniformed Traffic Infractions issued by police, require that the motorist must first submit the ticket(s) to the court with a plea by the assigned deadline stated on the ticket (Indicated as: "Must Appear in Person or By Mail") with a date and time assigned by the issuing officer. 

Please fill out Section A or Section B on each ticket infraction received, before submitting a plea, read the ticket in its entirety and be aware of which boxes are checked off on your traffic summons. 

NOT everything on a traffic summons may pertain to the motorist.  Uniformed Traffic Ticket (UTT) is meant to encompass Violations, Misdemeanors, and Felonies.  Once a plea has been received, the motorist will receive instructions on the next steps to be taken (ex:  Pre-Trial Conferences/Fine Due Dates). If you have any questions, please contact the Court Office at 845-358-4464
