Pine AI covers all Washington DC parking citations | Updated May 2026

Washington DC's parking enforcement is among the most active on the East Coast. The DC Department of Motor Vehicles (DC DMV) — specifically its Adjudication Services division — handles all parking citation disputes. For formal hearings, cases go to the DC Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).

DC has a 30-day window to dispute from the citation date. After that, late fees apply and dispute rights narrow.
