Administrative Citations

Pay Your Administrative Citation
Any person violating any provision of the Newport Beach Municipal Code or applicable State Code may be issued an administrative citation. Each and every day that a violation occurs constitutes a separate and distinct offense.

The failure to pay the fees or fines assessed within the time specified may result in the matter being referred to a collection agency. Any unpaid fees or fines will be assigned to a collection agency approximately 90 days after the original due date. At that time, 30% of the original fee will be added to the fine for collection/recovery costs.

To pay an administrative citation online go to www.pticket.com/nbadmin or visit us in person at 100 Civic Center Dr. Bay A1, Cashier/Customer Service. 

 

Appeal Your Administrative Citation
Any recipient of an administrative citation may file an appeal. A request for hearing form must be filled out and returned to the City along with an advanced deposit of the fine within 21 days from the original citation. Any fine shall be refunded if it is determined that the person charged was not responsible.
