Revenue Recovery

The Office of Revenue Recovery (ORR) is a County agency separate from the Superior Court, but is contracted as the Collection Officer on behalf of the court. ORR will conduct an interview and arrange an installment payment plan for the majority of traffic and misdemeanor cases, as well as for payment of court-appointed attorney fees to satisfy the order of the court. You must appear in court before a payment plan can be arranged.

You may walk in at any time during the above business hours and speak with a collections officer regarding your account. If your assigned collections officer is unavailable, any collections officer will be able to assist you.

Installment Payments

You may pay your fine in installments as agreed to by yourself and Revenue Recovery. If you fail to pay an installment on or before your due date, the full unpaid balance will become due immediately.  If you are in default, you do not have to go back to the judge to see about paying your fine.  You can work it out at Revenue Recovery without having to go back to court.
