Parking, criminal, and traffic tickets which have the words “MINOR MISDEMEANOR” or “mm” printed on the ticket may be paid without the necessity of a court appearance. The only exception is if this is your third moving violation within the past twelve (12) months.

A court appearance is then required. All other tickets require a court appearance. If you must appear in court or wish to plead not guilty, the date of your court appearance is indicated at the front bottom of your ticket. Traffic court begins at 9:00 A.M. and works on a first-come, first-served basis.

All payable tickets can be paid in person, by mail, or online.
