Mayor's Court

Mayor's Court is held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday's of the month at 9am.

Fines and Court Appearance Information:

Parking Tickets and the DMV
If you don’t pay a parking ticket, it will not just go away. In addition to getting sent to a collection agency, the DMV will do everything it can to get you to pay the ticket or face the consequences.

While the ticket will not directly impact your driving record, if you don’t pay the fine, you will be unable to renew your license plate and won’t get a renewal sticker until you do—which means that any time you drive, you will be driving illegally.
