If you don’t pay a non-traffic ticket issued on or after May 1, 2017 by its due date, you’ll be charged a late fee. The fine and late fee can be worked off under the Fine Option Program.

After you pay the ticket, keep the receipt with you for at least 3 days to prove you made a payment. It can take up to 72 hours for law enforcement to receive a notice of your payment.
