Got a Keansburg parking ticket? Here's what we've learned.

If you paid through Keansburg's text-to-pay parking system and still got a ticket, don't panic. Here's what we've learned from customers about getting it dismissed.

Not legal advice. Half Moon isn't affiliated with the Borough of Keansburg or its municipal court — we're just sharing what works.

Step 1

Do your times line up?

The borough will typically dismiss a ticket if your text-to-pay receipt timestamp is close to the ticket time — usually within about 10 minutes. Enforcement sometimes tags cars while drivers are still finishing the payment.

Find your receipt now.

Pull up your text-to-pay confirmation text or emailed receipt before it scrolls off — you'll need a printed copy to submit. Screenshot it, write your ticket number on the printout, and keep a copy for yourself.

Step 2

Choose how to submit your receipt.

Any of the three works — pick whichever fits your day. You don't have to wait for your scheduled court date.

Fastest

Bring it in person

Drop the printed receipt off at the municipal court on the next business day. If you live nearby, this is the quickest way to get it dismissed — no waiting for a court date. Don't forget to bring the physical ticket with you.

From anywhere

Mail it in

Mail the printed receipt to the court with your ticket number written on it. Great option if you're not local — you don't have to appear.
