All citations issued include an initial notice placed on the vehicle’s windshield and an additional notice (the Courtesy Reminder Notice) sent to DMV registered owner.  Any misplaced/lost citation notices will not result in an extension of the due date, appeal deadline, and/or waiver of late fees.

If you received a Courtesy Reminder Notice in the mail and the vehicle cited is not yours, please email Parking Services at parking@csusb.edu with a copy of DMV’s Registration of the vehicle.

California Vehicle Code does not allow for an extension of parking citation due dates.

If a citation is not paid or appealed within the required timeframe, late fees will be applied. In addition, a hold will be placed on your MyCoyote account, a hold will be placed on the vehicle’s registration with the DMV, an/or intercept will be filed with the California Franchise Tax Board. 

All citations must be paid within 21 calendar days from the date of issuance or 14 days from the mailing of the Courtesy Reminder Notice to the DMV Registered Owner, whichever is greater. If not paid by the due date, the citation will be subject to additional late fees.
