You may pay in the following ways:

  • IN PERSON – A defendant may appear in court to admit responsibility anytime during the course of a normal business day. Court hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Bring your copy of the citation with you. The clerk will ask you to sign the back of your ticket admitting responsibility and issue a receipt for your payment. 

 

  • MAIL – Appearance by mail is made when the defendant returns the citation to the court with a signed admission of responsibility (see back of ticket), along with full payment of applicable fines and costs. Personal checks and money order payments will be accepted by mail. Mail payment to the court listed on your citation. If payment is not enclosed, the court will enter the judgment and assess the appropriate fines and costs. Your payment must be received within 14 days. The timeliness of a mail appearance is determined by the postmark date of the defendant’s letter.

 

WARNING: Failure to make a timely appearance will result in entry of a default judgment against the defendant. Noncompliance with the judgment will result in eventual suspension of the defendant’s license as well as other possible sanctions. Failure to answer a citation or a notice to appear in court for a traffic violation can also result in license suspension.
