Payments
Many citations for traffic violations may be settled prior to the court date by payment of a fine in compliance with the established fee schedule. If the fine is paid in full prior to the court date, a court appearance will not be necessary.
Payment is accepted only on traffic citations listed as payable without a court appearance. State law requires you to appear in court if you have been convicted of more than two (2) violations during the preceding 12 months.
Traffic citations may be paid in person at Town Hall during regular business hours, Monday thru Friday, 8 am until 4:30 p.m. Please bring your copy of the traffic citation if possible. We accept cash, money order, or certified check. We also accept credit/debit cards (a 3% service fee on credit/debit transactions) either in person or by phone. All payments must be received prior to the court date which is indicated on the citation or you must appear in court.
To pay a fine by mail, the defendant should sign the Plea of Guilty/Waiver of Rights set forth on the citation, and mail it with your payment. Please mail payments to Blountsville Municipal Court, P. O. Box 186, Blountsville, Al. 35031.
