Pay a Court Fine

If all violations charged on your traffic ticket have a specified fine amount, you may choose not to appear in court, but to pay fines and fees prior to your court date. If any violation charged on your traffic ticket specifies “Court,” you must appear in court on your Notice to Appear date.
