If your wish to plead Guilty or No Contest, you must enter this plea in either one of the following ways:

1. Pay your fine within 3 business days prior to you court date.  You will not need to appear in court on the date entered on the citation.  The Court will enter a plea of No Contest and find you Guilty.  You can pay by mail or in person:
