Welcome
to the Online Ticket Payment
Program for the Marion Municipal Court. As part of an ongoing process
of expanding services and incorporating technology in day-to-day
operations, you can now pay eligible citations online.
|
| |
| PAYMENT OF CITATION
WITHOUT COURT APPEARANCE (WAIVERS): |
|
Ohio
law allows certain traffic
citations to be resolved by a Traffic Violations Bureau instead of
appearing in Court. If your citation qualifies, payment can be made
either in person, telephone, mail, or now online, as long as it is
received by the Clerk's office prior to the Court date and time which
can be found on the bottom of your citation or by accessing the record
search information. You must
pay the full amount, NO partial
payment can be accepted.
|
|
|
Court
records are updated every 24,
hours so if you forgot or missed your court date, you should check the
status after that time. You may still qualify to pay but note that a
"LATE" fee will be charged and the amount due will change. If you do
not qualify for payment, you MUST appear in person at the Clerk's
office as a warrant has already been issued for your arrest and/or
notification to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles of a license forfeiture
and/or block along with additional fees.

| TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM |
| |
If
you would like to participate in the Traffic Safety Program to avoid a
conviction, please do
not
pay your ticket. Please note: if the court receives a waiver amount without
an application for the TSP, it will be recepted as a waiver
(conviction). You must
complete
the application, then mail or bring in your payment for TSP to Marion
Municipal Court, and then complete TSP online.
If you would like to pay for TSP by credit card, you must call
the Court to process your payment and fax your application. If you have
any questions, please call the Court at 740-387-0631 before paying.

| MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS ON
CITATION(S) |
| |
|
The
result of your search will
display all cases relevant to that search. Tickets can contain up to
seven (7) separate charges, if you are paying to waive a court
appearance, make sure you are paying all the charges. Multiple cases
per ticket are listed with letters after the case number as illustrated
below:
|
| |
|
| |
| PROOF OF INSURANCE |
|
Proof
of insurance is a State of Ohio
requirement. To verify that you showed proof of insurance to the
Officer, look at the "Case Information" page by clicking the case
number(s) on the list of matching cases. An example of this screen is
shown below:
|
| |
 |
| |
|
If
you showed proof of insurance at
the time of the offense (indicated as "Proof of Ins.?: Shown"), then
you have complied with the State of Ohio requirements, no further
action on your behalf is required. If you did not show proof of
insurance at the time of the offense (indicated as "Proof of Ins.?: Not
Shown"), the Court is required to notify the State of Ohio Bureau of
Motor Vehicles who in turn will mail you a request for proof of
insurance. Failure to comply will result in a suspension of your
driving privileges. DO NOT
SEND PROOF OF INSURANCE TO THE COURT
AFTER PAYMENT.
