There is no Title II parking-ticket fine chart

Cities do not get a published parking-ticket chart. If a resident cannot use licenses, packets, or payments, they can complain to the Justice Department or go to court. A court can order the city to fix the pages and, if the city loses, may award attorney’s fees. Store caps are a different law. We will not quote them.

Who this is for

Clerks and website vendors for a city, town, township, or special district public website. Not a private store. Not a hospital. Those sit under a different part of the ADA.

People search “ADA website fine” because vendor posts treat cities like shops. That mix-up is the trap.

What is not true

Title II does not publish a parking-ticket chart for a missed website date. A dated monthly file is the record that someone looked at the public pages and public PDFs. It is not a stamp, not insurance, and not a promise that a complaint will never arrive.

Dollar caps you see on “ADA fine” posts are written for private stores. That is a different title. We will not put those numbers here.

What can happen

A resident who cannot use licenses, packets, or payments can tell the Justice Department. The Department may look into it, try to settle, sue, or decline. They do not take every complaint.

A resident can also go to court under 42 U.S.C. § 12133. They do not have to finish a federal complaint first. A court can order the city to fix the pages. If the city loses, it may also pay the other side’s lawyer — 28 CFR 35.172 and 35.175. The Justice Department named those two risks when it moved the dates in 2026.

We do not invent lawsuit dollars.

The one-screen answer is If you miss. What Title II is is the why. This note is the longer record for people who landed on a vendor myth first.
