Before you go: 6 more things to know about this court
- Connecticut has no county courts. The Centralized Infractions Bureau handles payments and not guilty pleas for every infraction and mail-in violation ticket in the state, so this one file covers all of Connecticut.[2]
- Fines are the same statewide and are printed on the ticket. See the state page for the amounts.[4]
- Full payment is due on or before the answer date. No payment plans are offered, and you can't pay one charge on a ticket and plead not guilty to another.[2]
- Paying counts as a no contest plea. After a not guilty plea a prosecutor reviews the case, and if it isn't resolved it moves to the Geographical Area court where the ticket was written. Call that court with questions once your case is transferred.[2]
- Missing the answer date sends the case to court and DMV suspends your license. You then owe a $60 reopening fee to the court clerk plus the original amount.[2]
- Tickets that need a court appearance (for example reckless driving or speeding over 85 mph) go straight to a Geographical Area court, not the bureau.
