Citation Dismissal
The following citations may be dismissed by paying a $10 fee and providing proof of correcting the deficiency by providing a paid receipt for registration of the vehicle cited as well as the penalty fee assessed by the Tax Assessor's office:
- Expired Motor Vehicle Registration
No Proof of Insurance (Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility)
Citation may be dismissed if a driver provides proof of insurance from an insurance company for the date and time of the violation.
Deferred Disposition
Deferred Disposition is a process in which the Judge requires the Defendant to adhere to certain terms. If those terms are completed successfully, the citation is dismissed. Terms may include, but are not limited to, refraining from committing certain violation during a specific period, attending a defensive driving class, or completing a specified number of community service hours. There are also additional fees that will apply in addition to the original amount of the citation. If the Defendant does not complete the terms of deferred disposition a conviction will be entered on the Defendant's driving record.
Payments

Pay by mail
- Sign the back of the citation and circle a plea of Guilty or No Contest (Nolo Contendere).
- A No Contest plea is not an admission of guilt. It means you do not wish to contest the charge.
- Either plea indicates that you agree to waive your right to a jury trial.
