Court Waiver Schedule

Traffic/Criminal Waiver Schedule (PDF)

The "Traffic/Criminal Waiver Schedule" above shows the total amount due for your ticket. This is referred to as a "waiver", because you are pleading guilty and waiving your right to a trial.

If you have received a traffic ticket or a criminal citation, and your appearance in court is not mandatory, and you do not wish to dispute the ticket

You may resolve your case through the Court's violations bureau by doing one of the following before your scheduled court appearance:

1. Online: Visit our website and click the Make A Payment button. By paying the citation online, you acknowledge you are pleading guilty to the violation(s) and waiving your right to a trial.

2. In Person: Bring the ticket to the Court Clerk's Office and sign a plea of guilty and waiver of trial. Pay the amount due from the Court waiver schedule with cash, check, money order.

3. By Mail: Sign the guilty plea and waiver of trial on the back of the ticket, and mail to the Court the ticket and a check or money order for the total amount due from the the court waiver schedule. Make your check or money order payable to "Chillicothe Municipal Court" and mail to:

     Chillicothe Municipal Court
     95 E. Main Street
     Chillicothe, OH 45601

4. Payment Plan: If you are unable to pay the full amount shown on the waiver schedule before your scheduled court date, you may bring the ticket to the Clerk's Office and apply for a monthly payment plan. A fee of $20.00 will be added to your total, and you must pay the $20.00 fee on that day.

If you fail to make your payment(s) as scheduled, a Judge has the authority to do one or both of the following:

1. Order the BMV to forfeit your operator's license (suspension); or
2. Order the BMV to block your ability to register a vehicle or renew registration of a vehicle.

In addition, the Clerk of Courts will send your account to a collection agency, and the agency will charge you a 30% fee.
