Ticket Information

A citation also referred to as a ticket, is a legal document charging an individual with a violation of a municipal ordinance. Once a ticket is issued, the individual receiving it is required to take a certain action.

An individual has the right to enter a plea of not guilty, nolo contendere, or guilty. A plea of not guilty means an individual does not believe they committed the violation of which they are accused. A plea of nolo contendere means not contesting the violation resulting in a finding of guilt. This plea is often referred to as a no-contest plea. A plea of guilty means admitting guilt and paying the established fine, state-required fees, and court costs.

For a plea of Guilty or No Contest, you may select:
