Beginning Monday, November 3, all City of Reno parking ticket payments will transition to the Reno Police Department.
People can make payments in person at the Reno Public Safety Center at 911 Kuenzli Street, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The public will continue to have multiple payment options, including online at Parking.Reno.Gov, by mail at P.O. Box 1900, in Reno at 89505, by phone at (775) 334-2293, or by drop box at either City Hall’s 2nd floor parking garage (south entrance) or at the stair entrance on First Street between Virginia Street and University Way.
This change is part of a broader effort to modernize and streamline Reno’s parking program. In July, the Reno Police Department formally integrated the Parking Enforcement Division into its operations to strengthen coordination across city teams and improve service consistency.
“The decision to bring all parking operations under the Police Department aligns with our mission to deliver responsive, community-focused public safety,” said Reno Police Chief Kathryn Nance. “By integrating enforcement, processing, and payments, we’re providing a more consistent experience for the public at every step.”
According to the Reno Municipal Code, people who wish to appeal a parking infraction must do so within 15 days of the violation. Fines increase by $20 if not paid within 15 calendar days, and another $20 if unpaid after 30 days. Paying a fine removes the option to appeal.
The transition follows a series of parking system upgrades earlier this year. The City of Reno recently collected $67,890.97 in payments on 2,157 overdue parking tickets after restoring access to registered owner information and resuming mailed notifications.
That effort was part of a larger parking improvement plan launched in 2024, with additional system enhancements expected in the months ahead.
