Your Rights in Municipal Court

General Information:

  • You have been summoned to come to Court on the date shown on your ticket.
  • You may plead "NOT GUILTY" on the Court date and a later trial date will be set.
  • You may plead "GUILTY" by mail for most charges; by coming to the Court to pay your fine during normal business hours; by paying your fine online; or by coming to Court on your court night.
  • If you plead guilty at Court, you will be given a future date to pay if you can't pay the date of Court.
  • If you want to plead "GUILTY", but you don't have the funds to pay your ticket, you must still come to Court on the court date shown on your ticket. If you need to establish a payment plan, you must appear on your court date and speak with the Judge. You will not be arrested for not having money to pay your fine.
  • If you do not come to Court when summoned to do so, a warrant for your arrest may be issued.
