Financial Hardship

As part of the Plumas Superior Court’s ongoing effort to increase access to justice, Plumas County became the newest California court to begin using MyCitations: an online option for people struggling to pay fines related to infractions.

The tool allows court users to look up citations online, answer a series of simple questions and submit a request to the court for a possible reduction in the amount owed, based on their financial situation. Users can also request a payment plan, more time to pay, or community service.

This new option saves both time and resources and allows the public to make requests without the need to appear in court. Prior to the implementation of this tool, only those that had previously made arrangements with the court would be eligible.

If you cannot pay the full amount of a fine for an infraction offense (including most traffic tickets), you may ask the Court to reduce the amount you owe based on your ability to pay through the MyCitations tool: https://MyCitations.Courts.CA.gov/
