Ability to Pay Determination
If you feel that you are indigent and are unable to pay a fine or complete community service, you can request an ability to pay determination hearing at your court date. You will be required to fill out the Statement of Financial Condition form. A copy of the form can be found under the Forms section or will be provided to you at your court date.
Community Service
If you are interested in performing community service in lieu of paying a fine, you will need to ask the Judge on your court date. The Judge is the only person that can convert fines to community service hours. If you have already been assigned community service hours by the Judge, a list of places that they may be completed along with the time sheet is listed below.
