Multnomah County Circuit Court

Fine / Penalty PolicyPortland parking citations are adjudicated by the Multnomah County Circuit Court. You have 60 days from issuance to submit your written explanation — one of the most generous windows in the country, but don't let it fool you: processing times can take 6 to 12 months. Important: Submitting a written explanation is a 'Waiver of Hearing' — you are consenting to the judge's decision based on your documents alone. Include the 10-character citation number (usually starts with 'HA'). If the violation is for expired registration, the court offers a standardized fine reduction (e.g., down to $20) if you include proof of correction and photos of the new stickers in your Appeal Kit. Note: Portland State University (PSU) citations are separate; avoid mailing city court for campus-specific tickets unless the ticket header explicitly directs you there.
