Bring your copy of the ticket, along with all proof of correction to the front desk of the Police Department during normal business hours, 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

4. How do I get a permit to park on a street that has suddenly posted permit parking only (code 220507)?

Come to the front desk of the Police Department with vehicle registration and proof of your address and a permit will be issued to your vehicle. Temporary permits can also be issued for visitors.

5. I have corrected a citation for expired registration and need the citation signed off on. Can I just stop by the Fountain Valley Police Station and have an officer sign off on the citation?

More times than not, it can be handled as a citation sign off at the FVPD front desk (a correction fee may be required). Our recommendation would be to bring the citation to the front desk after the violation has been corrected. Our front desk staff can look at the citation and advise you of the required next step.

6. I sent in payment for a traffic ticket, but it has not cleared. How can I confirm payment was received?

Once a moving citation is issued by a police officer, the disposition of the citation is handled by the court system. If you paid a fine to the court, you need to check with them to see if your fine was received. Fountain Valley PD is not able to tell you if your check has been cashed. You may contact the Superior Court West Justice Center by calling 714-896-7111 or go to the traffic window at the court located at:
8141 13th Street
Westminster, CA 92683

8. My vehicle was towed by the Fountain Valley Police Department (FVPD). How do I get it back?

Your vehicle is stored at one of two local tow companies. Before responding to the tow yard to pick up your vehicle, you must come to the FVPD to obtain a vehicle release. The tow yard will not release your vehicle without authorization.
