Fines

When you receive a citation you will have twenty (20) days to make an appearance.  An appearance must be made in person or by mail – a telephone call does not constitute an appearance.  There are several options available on or before the appearance date printed on the citation.

You may:

• Pay your fine online; credit card payments may be made for most cases ; a $3.25 fee is added to all online payments; 
• Pay in person by check, Visa, Master Card or cash;
• Pay by mail with check;
• Request Driver Safety Course option for dismissal of the ticket, if eligible; this is not an option if you have a commercial driver’s license; request must be made on or before the appearance date;
• Request Deferred Disposition for dismissal of the ticket this is not an option if you have a commercial driver’s license; request must be made on or before the appearance date listed on your citation;
• Request an extension or an installment plan at the clerk’s window if you are unable to pay the full amount of your fine;
  • You will be required to complete an application (English PDF 39k) (Spanish PDF 45k);
  • Request an extension of up to thirty days to pay your fine; this request must be made by the original appearance date listed on the citation either in person or by mail or fax;
  • A one-time payment fee of $25.00 will be added to each charge when payments exceed thirty days;

IMPORTANT, PLEASE NOTE:
Payment of fine will automatically result in a conviction that may go on your driving record.
Please allow 72 hours, plus any holiday hours for warrants to be cleared if paid online.
