Before you go: 5 more things to know about this court
- TVB order[5] covers uniform traffic citations issued on or after July 1, 2024. 'base' above is the order's 'Fine' column and 'total' is its 'Total (Fine + Statutory Surcharges)' column. Any case involving an accident is not assigned to the TVB.
- The order lists only payable offenses. Speeding more than 30 mph over, school-zone and work-zone speeding, hands-free/phone violations, no insurance, reckless driving, DUI and passing a school bus are not listed, so no prepayable amount is published for them. Contact the TVB.
- TVB cases are minor driving offenses occurring in unincorporated Cobb County[4]. Cobb cities (e.g. Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw) may hear their own police citations. Check the court named on the citation.
- Super Speeder: Georgia DDS charges a separate $200 state fee (75+ mph on a two-lane road or 85+ mph anywhere), in addition to the court fine[6].
- School bus stop-arm camera violations are paid through a separate link on the clerk page (https://www.violationinfo.com/Login.aspx).
