Will I have to pay a fine if I am found responsible for a traffic ticket?

If you plead responsible to, or are found responsible for, a civil traffic violation, the Judge may impose a fine. In most cases, civil traffic fines may not exceed $250.00 plus surcharges. However, fines for certain offenses where there are prior convictions can be much higher than that. If you cannot pay your fine in full on the date it is imposed, the Judge will add a $20.00 time payment fee to the total and give you additional instructions in writing.

The current civil traffic violation fine schedule tells you the standard fine for most civil traffic offenses. Contact the court on your citation for more information.  Click here for court contact information.
