SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER RELATING TO PHONE-IN PAYMENT PLAN ON MINOR MISDEMEANOR TRAFFIC CITATIONS

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Lawrence County Municipal Court is allowing defendants who cannot pay their citation in full via the online payment process or by mail to phone the ckerk's office and set up a payment plan on minor misdemeanor traffic citations only. You will be given a "final pay date". You may make payments in any amount during that time period. Failure to pay the citation by the final pay date will result in a $25.00 late fee and a suspension of your drivers license. The court will not allow an extension of a final pay date.

By requesting that a payment plan be set up, you understand that you are pleading "guilty" to all charges against you as listed on the citation, consequently waiving your right to an appearance in court or to a trial. You further understand that, when processed, this will close your case and the Court will forward this information to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the appropriate points will be added to your license.

To set up a payment plan call the Clerk's office at (740) 867-3127 during business hours.
