Fines
The fines for most traffic violations are $200 or more and criminal offenses can go up to $500 or more, this is set by the state legislature. Violations of city ordinances may carry a maximum fine of up to $2,000. The judge may assess the fine at his/her discretion within the fine range. THE JUDGE IS NOT REQUIRED TO REDUCE YOUR FINE.
State Fines
In addition to the fine, state fines mandated by state law will be charged. These state fines, which differ depending on the offense, are included in the fines. The judge has no discretion to waive or reduce state fines. In addition, if a warrant was served or processed, you will be charged an additional warrent reimbursement fee.
State fines are assessed if you are found guilty, plead no contest, or if your case is deferred for a driver safety course. If you are found not guilty, state fines cannot be assessed. Fines may be increased on a second or subsequent violation or if the violation occurred in a school or construction zone. Contact the Court for any charges not listed below.
