Fine / Penalty PolicyMemphis requires a mandatory 'Not Guilty' plea for any parking ticket contest. Crucially, the 201 Poplar Avenue address is the Criminal Justice Center; you must specify 'Room LL-80' on the envelope to ensure the appeal reaches the Traffic Violations Bureau. If you do not resolve the ticket within 30 days, the court treats silence as a default admission, which can trigger license holds under Tennessee state law. Always include a copy of the citation front and back. Important: if you have a ticket from a private lot in the Beale Street area (e.g., Premium Parking), the city clerk cannot dismiss those — verify the citation was issued by MPD or 'City of Memphis' before mailing your contest to the courthouse.
