The Mayor's Court also provides a Violation Bureau for the purpose of collecting payments for violations, which do not require a court appearance. Most minor misdemeanor and fourth degree misdemeanor traffic charges have the option of paying a fine rather than appearing in court. Below is the fine schedule for some common payable violations. You may waive your right to appear in Court and plead guilty in advance by paying the predetermined amount. Payment of fines must be received on or before the assigned court date. If the offense with which you are charged is not listed below, call the Clerk of Court's office, phone (614) 901-6419, for more information.

IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED PRIOR TO 9:00AM ON THE ASSIGNED COURT DATE YOUR APPEARANCE IS REQUIRED IN COURT.
