If you have not previously asked for a continuance, you are entitled to one. You must come to the Police Department window and fill out a continuance request.

You must appear in court and enter a plea. After this, you may request from the Magistrate an extension on your court fines. You must stay on your payment plan after your court date. Instructions for the payment plans will be provided to you in court.

What is a "Payout" ?

A payout is a minor misdemeanor that carries a fine that can be paid without making a court appearance. The fine is paid to the Violations Bureau on or before your assigned court date at 3:00 p.m.. Your citation must accompany the payment. Your citation must also be signed on the back of the citation. If a fine is not paid before your assigned court date, the fine will double. Payouts will not be accepted after 3:00 p.m. on your assigned court date. If you choose to make a court appearance, the payout amount no longer applies. The Magistrate will determine the fine amount and court costs will be added to that amount. View Payout Fee Schedule.
