Before you go: 5 more things to know about this court
  • Each Arizona court sets its own civil traffic amounts within the limits in state law. The court named on your citation handles the ticket.
  • Your first court date is an arraignment with a window clerk, where you plead responsible, plead not responsible and get a hearing date, or choose defensive driving. Anyone under 18 must appear with a parent or guardian.[1]
  • Proof of insurance, registration or a license issued before the citation date gets the charge dismissed. Proof issued later may reduce the fine.[1]
  • Missing the arraignment puts the case in default with full fines and extra fees, and MVD may suspend your license. A registration hold (TTEAP) can be placed until you pay.[1]
  • Bicycle tickets have a separate diversion class.[1]
