    No. This site is only for the payment of fines, fees, and surcharges.
  9. Do I still have to return to court if I paid my fine?
    That depends on your sentence. If the only condition of your sentence was the payment of fines, fees and/or surcharges, you will not have to return to court. If you are also required to complete other conditions or requirements, such as community service or the completion of a program, you may still have to return to court to show proof of completion.
