Unique process: appeal filed as 'Request for Dismissal' through City Attorney's office — not a standard hearing request. Two-step: file for dismissal first; if denied, appear in court. Base fine historically $10 for most violations; proposal in Aug 2024 to raise to $40 (status unclear). University of Wyoming has completely separate campus parking system. Handicap and residential permit violations are higher fines. | Request for Dismissal model (vs. standard hearing) is unusual — routes through City Attorney. Online form available. Base fines ($10) are very low — fee increase proposal pending as of Aug 2024 but status unconfirmed. UW campus system separate. 30-day deadline estimated.
