Requesting a refund
Last updated: November 4, 2026
Request a refund when you believe a resident was charged in error. How you request it depends on the type of charge.
Before you start
Check that the charge qualifies. See Refund policy.
Find the transaction in the resident's Payment History or in the relevant report. Note the resident's name, the date, the amount, and the transaction ID.
Steps
For a citation, boot, or tow
The resident files a dispute from their account.
Review the dispute in the dispute report and approve or deny it. See Responding to a citation dispute.
If you approve it, the charge is refunded automatically.
For a permit, guest pass, or other charge
Email support@parkingpass.com. The resident or the property manager can send it.
Include the resident's name, the transaction date and amount, and why you're requesting a refund.
For a duplicate charge, include both transaction IDs.
If you suspect a software error
Email support@parkingpass.com with the resident's name, the transaction date, and the amount.
Describe what you saw and why you think a software problem caused the charge.
What happens next
ParkingPass Support investigates and replies with a decision. If a refund is approved, it goes back to the original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days. The resident gets a confirmation email, and the refund appears in their Payment History.
Important notes
Property managers can't issue refunds directly from the dashboard.
Approval isn't guaranteed. Support decides based on the Refund policy.
Troubleshooting
If a payment failed but the permit still shows as active, it's usually a display issue, not a refund case. Email support@parkingpass.com so they can reconcile it. See A resident's permit payment failed.
