New York City parking and camera tickets, and nothing else: what each violation code costs, how hearings on each kind of ticket have ended, how to dispute a ticket or pay it through the city's own services, how the city's payment plans work, and what to do after a hearing is lost. The plate lookup and the defect checker are free; the one paid item is a written hearing statement.
Hearing outcomes come from the City of New York's own file, NYC Open Data, Open Parking and Camera Violations. Fines, deadlines, booting rules and payment plans come from the Department of Finance pages on nyc.gov and its fine schedule on NYC Open Data. The full list, with the day each source was last re-read, is on our editorial policy page.
Each rate is computed from the city's file and printed with the day of that computation, currently August 31, 2026; the query is on the methodology page so anyone can run it again. The fine and rule pages are re-read by a script that compares the city's current wording with the sentence our pages rely on; the last full re-read was September 28, 2026. When a source page changes, a person reads the change before our wording moves.

Who we are. Axion Labs is a small, family-run independent publishing studio. We publish plain-English answers built from public records. Every figure names its source and the date we read it. We are not lawyers, not an agency, and not affiliated with any company, insurer, council or government body we write about. We take no commission, no referral fee and no advertising, and we rank no product. Axion Labs writes the pages and answers the mail: hello@getaxionlabs.com.
Axion Labs also publishes appealsdesk.co.uk, denialfacts.com, mtdfacts.co.uk and screeningfacts.com, each on a different subject. Nothing on this site depends on them.
NYC Ticket Facts is run by Axion Labs, a small independent publishing studio. Corrections go to hello@getaxionlabs.com. One person reads that mail and answers it; expect a reply within a few days. We are not the City of New York, not a law firm, and not a ticket-fighting agency, and we don't want to be mistaken for any of them.
Three things we will never do: take your ticket payment or any percentage of your fine, contact the city or act in your name, or touch your plate or your money. You pay and dispute directly with the city, on the city's own site, where disputing is free.
New York City publishes the outcome of every parking and camera violation — over 150 million records, updated daily. A driver is never pointed at that data before deciding whether to pay a ticket. We compute the dismissal rates and publish them, free, with the method shown. The site also offers one paid product: a $12.99 document-preparation tool that turns your account of what happened into a written hearing statement. That's the entire business model — no subscriptions, no percentage of your fine, no data resale.
Every statistic on this site can be reproduced from public data — the methodology page shows the exact dataset and queries. Our data is also available as an open JSON API. If you find an error, email us. One person reads that mail and answers it; expect a reply within a few days.
There is a person behind this page. If anything here is wrong, out of date, or reads like it was written by a machine that has never been ticketed, email us — when we change something we say so on the page. One person reads that mail and answers it; expect a reply within a few days. Whatever you decide about your ticket, disputing it is free at nyc.gov — Dispute a ticket, and you never need us, or anyone, to do it for you.
