Click here to go to the Franchise Tax Board website. Can't Afford to Pay? If you cannot afford to pay the full amount of a fine for an infraction offense (including most traffic tickets), you may ask the court to reduce the amount you owe based on your ability to pay in setting the total amount due online or in-person at any point before your fines and fees are fully paid. The MyCitations online tool allows you to enter a plea and make an ability to pay request on eligible infractions. In addition to requesting a reduction, you can request a payment plan, more time to pay, or ask to complete community service in lieu of paying fines and fees. Fines and fees owed from a misdemeanor or felony offense are not eligible to request a reduction. Do not use the online tool if you want to: Contest the citation Attend traffic school Get a dismissal or reduction of charges with proof of correction MyCitations Frequently Asked Questions What is collections? Mariposa County Superior Court operates a Comprehensive Collection Program pursuant to Penal Code Section 1463.007. The mission of Collections is to assist people who cannot pay their entire fine at the time of their hearing. Collections will interview the individual and arrange an installment payment plan for the majority of traffic, misdemeanor and felony cases, court-appointed attorney fees, and some Family Law and Probate filing or investigation fees ordered to be satisfied by the Court. What if I cannot afford to make my installment payment? Payments are due on or before the date set by court collections. Failure to make your payment on time may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest. You may request a financial evaluation or modification of payments by contacting the Collections Division. What do I do if I am in default on making my fine payments? If you fail to make your payment on or before your due date, the full unpaid balance will become due immediately. You will be in default and a civil assessment of $300.00 may be added to your existing balance. Additionally, your Court ordered probation may be revoked, or a warrant may be issued for your arrest. I received a civil assessment notice California Penal Code 1214.1 authorizes California courts to “impose a civil assessment of up to $300.00 against any defendant who fails, after notice and without good cause, to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law or who fails to pay all or any portion of a fine ordered by the court or to pay an installment of bail as agreed to under Section 40510.5 of the Vehicle Code.” What are all those fees for and why do I have to pay them? The amounts set for fees, fines and assessments are not established by the Court. They are either set by the California legislature or by counties or municipalities through local ordinances. The Court simply processes the cases and collects the money, which is then distributed to various state, county and city entities. I am not guilty. Why do I have to pay? If your case is in Court Collections, you have failed to pay your fines and fees. You may be allowed to appear before a Judge to dispute or explain any extenuating circumstances. I received a notice referring my account to the franchise tax board. What Is that all about? California law allows the Court to request the Franchise Tax Board to intercept funds owed by the State of California to defendants with delinquent accounts. Please contact the Franchise Tax Board at the number they provided for your payment options. Making Payments You should be receiving bi-monthly statements.
