There are regulations for parking in certain County parking lots and if you violate any of these parking regulations, you may be issued a parking ticket/citation.

Note: The process below only applies to parking tickets/citations issued by the County or the CHP in County lots, not parking tickets/citations issued by other agencies or in other locations.

The process for County parking tickets/citations is as follows:

1. A parking ticket/citation will be left on your windshield.
2. If you agree with the citation, follow the instructions on the ticket/citation to pay your fine.

Protesting a Ticket/Citation

If you do not agree with the ticket/citation, instead of paying the ticket/citation you can contest the citation online.

To pay or contest online, please visit www.paymycite.com/kerncounty. You must request a review within 14 days of receipt of the ticket/citation. Warning: Failure to pay the citation may result in collection efforts.
