Is it a Civil Traffic Offense?

Criminal Traffic violations cannot be paid online and you must appear in court. The charge(s) on your complaint will have a checkbox indicating whether they are Civil Traffic or Criminal Traffic.

How long do I have to pay my citation online?

You can pay your citation online up to and including the date listed on the citation for you to appear at the court. Online payments will post approximately 24 hours after payment is made.

Can I go to Defensive Driving School?

If you are eligible for defensive driving school and want to attend, do NOT pay your citation. You should complete DDS prior to your scheduled court date and send proof of completion to the court listed on your ticket. Click here to determine if you are eligible.

How do I pay?

Paying the ticket disqualifies you from taking Defensive Driving School for this citation.

Select the "Pay Now" link below to simply pay your ticket with a credit card. You will need your last name and driver's license number (DL) to access the payment module. Your DL is printed on your license, as well as your ticket. If you cannot access your ticket for payment online, it may not be eligible for online payment.

If you are required to pay fines, penalties, fees or other financial obligations as a result of a judgement of this court and you are unable to pay in full, bring this information to the attention of court staff or the judge because payments over time or other alternatives may be available. Do not ignore your responsibility to pay, as this may result in additional penalties and costs to you. For more information, contact an attorney or the appropriate Justice Court as listed on this page.

Will I get a receipt?

A receipt of payment is provided on the payment website. In addition, you can provide an email address during the payment process and a receipt will be emailed to that address.

Traffic Ticket Notice

You are pleading responsible to all civil traffic charges you have selected if you are paying online. If your fine is eligible for reduction you must submit proof to the court before making a payment.

Maricopa County has chosen to use Fidelity Information Services (FIS) to provide credit card payment services to the County. Should you have any questions about your payment, please contact the Maricopa County Justice Courts at 602-506-8530.
