Parking tickets are issued for a variety of infractions in the Region of Queens. Fines vary from $10 to $100 for a first offense and offenders have two options upon receipt of a ticket.
Option 1 – Pay the ticket within 14 days. This is classified as a “Voluntary Payment – Guilty Plea”. Fines can be paid in person during business hours at the Municipal Offices located at 249 White Point Road, Liverpool, or via mail to PO Box 1264, Liverpool, NS, B0T 1K0. The ticket must accompany the fine. Parking tickets can also be paid online here.
Option 2 – “Appear in Court – Not Guilty Plea”. If you do not pay your ticket within 14 days a summons will be issued for you to appear in court. At this court hearing:
- The Justice will enter a conviction in your absence resulting in a fine
- On Motor Vehicle Charges, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles will not allow you to renew your license or permit until the fine is paid. In addition to the fine, a fee will be applied by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.
- The Justice may issue a warrant.
