Not all tickets are payable. For summonses requiring a court appearance you should appear on the date indicated, or check with the Court if you are uncertain as to how to proceed. A Bench Warrant can be issued for failure to appear, followed by a license suspension.

Warrants

If you have a mandatory ticket or criminal complaint that has gone into Warrant status, you must post bail and come to court.

If you have a payable ticket in warrant status and do not want to come to court, you can post bail and have it applied to the fines, cost and penalties by clicking on Bail Waiver. Print, complete and mail the form along with your bail check or money order. Upon receipt of same the warrant will be recalled. If you need a receipt for DMV you must send a stamped self-addressed envelope. These matters can also be handled at the Violations Bureau.

Community Dispute Resolution Committee

We have a volunteer mediator trained by the AOC whose function is to find equitable solutions to non-violent neighborhood disputes. If an amicable agreement can be reached, the Judge will then dismiss the court action.
