Rules & Regulations

Fines / costs are subject to change without notice. Fines and costs are established by the court on a case by case basis. While these are general guidelines for the most common traffic offenses, individuals owing fines and cost should contact the court to determine the exact amount of any fines and cost that have been ordered. Proper attire is required for appearance in court. No tank tops or muscle shirts allowed pursuant to court rules.

Defective Equipment

If the officer checked the box indicating "waivable" and you have an officer certify on your copy of the ticket that the violation has been corrected, and your copy of the ticket is brought to the Court on or before 14 days after issuance of the citation, the defective equipment violation will be processed as responsible and be waived without costs. Otherwise, fines and costs are $115 (not including any late charge that may ensue).

No Proof Of Registration

If the officer checked the box indicating "waivable" and your copy of the ticket is brought to the Court within 14 days of violation with proof of valid registration on the offense date, the violation will be processed as responsible and fines/costs waived. Otherwise, fines/costs are $115 (not including any late charge that may ensue).

No Proof Of Insurance

If the vehicle had insurance at the time the ticket was issued and you can prove it, the ticket and proof of insurance must be brought to the Court on or before 14 days of the issuance of the ticket the cost will be reduced to $25. If insurance was obtained after the time the ticket was issued, but within 14 days of the issuance of the ticket and both are brought to the Court, the cost is reduced to $130. If no action is taken to obtain and/or show proof of insurance to the Court, the cost is $155 (not including any late charge that may ensue).
