COURT COSTS
In addition to a fine, court costs mandated by state law will be charged. The costs are different depending on the offense. You need to check with the court for the amount that will be assessed to the violation for which you are charged. If you request a trial you may have to also pay the costs of overtime paid to a peace officer testifying in the trial.
Court costs are assessed if you are found guilty at trial, if you plead guilty or nolo contendere, if your case is deferred for a driving safety course, or if your case is deferred and you are placed an probation. If you are not found guilty, court costs cannot be assessed. |
