Payment Plan Eligibility

You may apply for a payment plan on any case(s) where you are not on active probation, provided the amount due exceeds $100.

In these circumstances, you must

• Pay the balance in full, or
• Call the collections agency associated with your case to resolve the balance due. 

When financial obligations are not paid in accordance with their deadlines, additional costs related to license suspension (i.e. D6 fees) may be assessed.  It may take up to 90 days from the D6 issue date for collections to receive complete information on your case(s).

If your case(s) have not been sent for collections and you have never had a payment plan, you may initiate a payment plan upon payment of D6 fees (if applicable) AND Payment Plan fees ($25 per case).

NOTE: If mailing your documents, please include the applicable remittance as certified funds payable to:  Clerk of Court.  Upon receipt of your contract and proper administration fees, your completed contract will be provided to you via the email address indicated on the application.  It will include your monthly and total payment amounts as well as your scheduled due dates.
