Paying Fines

Prior to your court appearance date, you may opt to plead guilty and pay your ticket at the prices set on the court's schedule of fines. Fines may be paid by mail or in person at the court office, provided a guilty plea is entered and payment is received in full prior to your court appearance date. No partial payments will be accepted.
