Welcome to the Online Ticket Payment Program for the . As part of an ongoing process of expanding services
and incorporating technology in day-to-day operations, you can now
pay eligible citations online.
|
PAYMENT OF CITATION WITHOUT COURT APPEARANCE (WAIVERS): |
Ohio law allows certain traffic citations to be resolved by a
Traffic Violations Bureau instead of appearing in Court. If
your citation qualifies, payment can be made either in person,
telephone, mail, or now online, as long as it is received by
the Clerk's office prior to the Court date and time which can
be found on the bottom of your citation or by accessing
the record search information. You must pay the full amount,
NO partial payment can be accepted.
|
Court records are updated every 24, hours so if you forgot
or missed your court date, you should check the status
after that time. You may still qualify to pay but note
that a "LATE" fee will be charged and the amount due
will change. If you do not qualify for payment, you MUST
appear in person at the Clerk's office as a warrant has
already been issued for your arrest and/or notification to the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles of a license forfeiture and/or block
along with additional fees.
|
MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS ON CITATION(S) |
The result of your search will display all cases relevant
to that search. Tickets can contain up to seven (7) separate
charges, if you are paying to waive a court appearance, make
sure you are paying all the charges. Multiple cases per
ticket are listed with letters after the case number as
illustrated below:
|
PROOF OF INSURANCE |
Proof of insurance is a State of Ohio requirement. To verify
that you showed proof of insurance to the Officer, look at
the "Case Information" page by clicking the case
number(s) on the list of matching cases. An example of this
screen is shown below:
|
If it is marked "Proof of Ins.: Shown", then you have complied with the State of
Ohio requirements; no further action on your behalf is
required. If you did not show proof of insurance at the time of the offense (marked as "Proof on Ins. Not Shown"), the Court is required to notify
the State of Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles who in turn will
mail you a request for proof of insurance. Failure to comply
will result in a suspension of your driving privileges.
DO NOT SEND PROOF OF INSURANCE TO THE COURT AFTER
PAYMENT.

CITATIONS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY: |
If a citation includes any mandatory offense, it is
NOT payable online and a Court appearance is required.
What follows is a list of offenses that cannot be paid online
and require a Court appearance:

PAYMENT OF CITATION AFTER YOUR COURT DATE |
Payment of Fines/Costs are also accepted by the Clerk's Office
as long as it is received prior to the date the Court told you it was due. If you did not pay by this date, you MUST appear in
person at the Clerk's Office as a warrant may have
issued for your arrest and/or notification to the Bureau of
Motor Vehicles of a license forfeiture and/or block along with
additional fees.
