Payment Options

Carefully consider all of your options before remitting payment in full for any citation.

If you are unable to pay the fine and cost for any reason you should come to court to explain those reasons to the Judge. The Application for Payment over Time or for an Extension to Pay form(PDF, 167KB) provides information to the Judge which will be considered in determining whether you have the ability to pay.
