Forfeiture of Collateral

For certain petty offenses and misdemeanors, an accused may pay a fixed sum in lieu of appearing in Court. The Court’s collateral forfeiture schedule governs the amount of such sums. Payment of collateral forfeiture may be considered a conviction on the charged offense. Payment of collateral forfeiture for certain offenses may also result in the offense and disposition being reported to the state agency charged with administering drivers’ licenses.

A copy of the Court’s schedule may be obtained from the Clerk of Court and is available on the Court’s website. 47
