If you are unable to pay fines and costs for the offense(s) of which you were convicted within 30 days
of said conviction, the Court offers you the opportunity to enter into a deferred payment plan, a modified
deferred payment plan, or an installment plan. You may also request Court approval to perform community
service through a non-profit organization registered as a 501(c) (3) with the IRS in lieu of or to defray fines
and costs upon certain terms and conditions generally including a requirement that a minimum of 5 hours of
community service must be performed every month for a period of one year, and a credit of $10.00 per hour
for each hour of community service performed. However, community service is not available to repay
restitution, interest on restitution, and any collection fee for restitution.
Any payment received within 10 days of the due date will be considered timely made.
At any time during the duration of your payment plan, you may ask the Court to modify your plan. A
request for modification will be granted on a good faith showing of need, however you must appear in the
Clerk’s office and complete the attached form DC-211 providing your financial information.

down payment will be required if you have defaulted on a payment plan, which will be 10% of a balance of
$500.00 or less; 5% of a balance of $500.00 or more, or $50.00, whichever is greater.
