Deferred Disposition


Deferred disposition is a process in which the judge requires the defendant to adhere to certain terms.  If a defendant successfully completes those terms, the case will be dismissed.  Terms may include, but are not limited to, refraining from committing certain violations during a specified time period, attending a defensive driving class, or completing a specified number of community service hours.  If the defendant does not complete the terms of deferred disposition or attend required educational classes, an additional fine will be imposed and a conviction entered on their driving record.

Deferred disposition may not be paid through the on-line fine payment system.

Deferred disposition may be requested in person or through the mail.  You are not required to use a specific form to request deferred disposition through the mail, you may simply request this option in the format of a letter to the court.  In your request, please reference your ticket number, name, and date of birth.  If you wish to request deferred disposition, appear in Municipal Court or mail your request to:
