Methods of Payment

Types of Credit / Debit Cards Accepted and Processing Fees

American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard®, and Visa® cards are now being accepted in county courthouses. 

Credit card payments must be $1,000 or less, and can be applied to criminal, civil and other fees – with the exception of alimony, bond forfeiture, cash bonds, child support purge payments, civil judgments, condemnation awards, disputed funds, rent bonds, trusts, and upset bids. These categories are exempt because of the increased financial risk involved with these types of payments. 

A nominal processing fee will be charged at the time of payment. The fee is remitted to NIC, an independent company that processes all online payments. 

Other methods of acceptable payments are cash, cashier’s checks or money orders. Personal checks are never accepted. Cashier’s checks must be made payable to the “Clerk of Court”.
