How to Pay Court Fees  

Court-ordered fees include Fines, Court Costs, and Probation Supervision fees. Courts may add fees, such as Court-appointed Attorney fees, Crime Stopper fees, Assessment fees, and Restitution fees to repay victims for what was lost or damaged. Probationers required to submit to drug or alcohol tests pay a $10 co-payment for each test.  

Probationers have payment options to help them keep their Court-ordered fees current.
