CIRCUIT COURT TIME TO PAY GUIDELINESInformation about Court Fines and Costs
Fines and/or court costs are assessed against individuals convicted of a felony, misdemeanor or traffic infraction. Fines and court costs are due when imposed unless the defendant enters into a payment plan agreement approved by the Court.
Payment plans are signed at the Criminal Division office in the Clerk’s Office or before a notary public if the payment agreement is signed outside of the Clerk’s Office.
Judgment for the amount of fines and costs is entered against the defendant and interest accrues on the balance due date. Judgments are docketed in the Judgment Lien Docket Book in the Clerk’s Office.
Individuals who do not promptly pay fines and court costs when due may be subject to the following:
- Unpaid fines and court costs are reported to the Department of Taxation for Set-off Debt Collection (after proper notice, any tax refund or lottery proceeds due the defendant will be sent to the Clerk's Office to pay off the debt).
- Unpaid fines and court costs are reported to the Department of Taxation, which acts as debt collector for the Circuit Court.
- Notice of any unpaid fines and/or court costs is sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles, which will suspend the defendant's operator's license if payment is not made.
