Payable tickets

If your case is payable there will be a fine amount on the ticket or notice you receive in the mail.

• If you choose to plead guilty and pay the fine BEFORE the  court date, you do not have to come to court.
• If you do not pay before the listed court date, you MUST come to court when listed. 
• If you want to keep your ticket payable you must request a continuance THREE DAYS BEFORE your first court date and after that one and only continuance, either pay or come to court. If you miss a court date on a payable ticket it will no longer be payable and you will have to come to court even if a fine was originally listed on the ticket.

NOTE: A normally payable ticket also may be non-payable and require a mandatory court date if it was issued with a non-payable ticket or during an accident.
