Violation & Fees

If you fail to respond to your citation within 14 days, it may result in a warrant for your arrest being issued with additional fees added. If you are disputing your ticket or need to discuss it for any reason, you must come to the court office in person prior to the 14 days to make an appointment for a pre-trial conference. The prosecutor will allow you to give your story and he will be able to explain the charges and show any evidence against you including video if one is available.

Below are some common violations. Underlined violations require a mandatory appearance before the judge and cannot be paid until you are sentenced.
