Traffic Tickets

1.  What do I do if I get a traffic ticket?

If you wish to plead GUILTY you may sign and date Part A on the ticket, mail it in by the court date and the Court will mail a fine notice back to you.

If you wish to plead NOT GUILTY sign and date Part B on the ticket.  You may mail it in by the court date and the Court will mail the Plea by Mail procedures to you.  If you appear on your court date you will receive the Plea by Mail procedures.

2.  What do I do if I get a suspension notice?

You should immediately contact the court to determine the reason for the suspension.  If the suspension is for failing to pay a fine the payment should be remitted to the Court.  If your fine is paid after your suspension date there is a $70.00 fee to lift your suspension in addition to any fine that may have been assessed.

3.  How can I pay my fine?
