Appeal deadline: 14 days in Ocoee!

Important: Ocoee Parking Rules

CRITICAL: Ocoee uses a city-specific notarized affidavit process entirely managed by Ocoee PD — NOT the Orange County Clerk system. The 14-calendar-day deadline is shorter than the standard 30 days. A $10 filing fee (cash or money order only) is required — no card payments. The notarization requirement adds friction but also creates a strong urgency case for using ParkingFight's service. In-person-only drop-off required at Ocoee PD. This is a completely separate system from Orange County traffic court. | 14-calendar-day deadline confirmed from official Ocoee city website. Notarized affidavit requirement confirmed. $10 fee (cash/money order only) confirmed. In-person drop-off at Ocoee PD confirmed. This is a city-administered process entirely separate from Orange County Clerk — unusual for Orange County cities. Notarization + in-person + $10 fee creates significant friction = high ParkingFight value proposition.
