Fight Your Nevada Citation for Parking Too Far From Curb Don't Accept Unfair Tickets - Protect Your Rights
If you received a parking citation in Nevada for allegedly parking far from the curb, don’t just pay the fine. These tickets are often issued unfairly or in error. But a dedicated lawyer can get the citation dismissed. Contact us for a consultation.
How Nevada "Too Far From Curb" Citations Work
Under Nevada law, parking more than 18 inches away from the curb is illegal. Violations carry fines of around $50-100. However, measurements can be inaccurate and circumstances disputed. A skilled attorney knows how to challenge questionable tickets.
Potential Defenses Against These Citations
There are legal defenses an experienced lawyer may use to fight a too-far-from-curb citation, such as:
- The officer measured incorrectly
- You were parked in compliance with the law
- There were no clear markings indicating the curb area
- Other vehicles were also parked similarly
- You were briefly standing vs. parked
- The ticket violates technical requirements
Our lawyers thoroughly investigate the facts and fight questionable tickets. We also negotiate with prosecutors, highlight mitigating circumstances, and advocate for the citation’s dismissal. Don’t just pay – fight back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fight a too far from curb ticket without hiring an attorney?
Yes, you can contest it yourself, but having legal experience significantly improves your chances of getting it dismissed.
What if I was just briefly standing next to my car when I got the ticket?
If you were not legally parked at the time, that fact can be used as a defense to fight the citation.
Do I have to appear in court to try and get the ticket dismissed?
In most cases you can avoid appearing personally by having an attorney represent you instead.
Am I still responsible if I was driving a rental car or borrowed vehicle?
Yes, the registered owner of the vehicle is ultimately responsible for paying these citations if not dismissed.
Can parking enforcement write tickets for this on private property?
Typically no. These laws usually only apply to public streets with posted or verifiable curb areas.
What if I simply can’t afford such an expensive ticket right now?
If you’re facing financial hardship, inform your attorney to explain the situation and request fine reductions.
Will too many of these tickets cause my license to be suspended?
If enough parking ticket fines go unpaid, you can face driver’s license suspension in Nevada.
