Payment of Fines & Fees
How to Pay Your Criminal Fines, Fees, and Assessments
In 2003, the Superior Court of Monterey County, in partnership with the Monterey County Revenue Division, established the Court – County Criminal Collection Program. The Revenue Division is responsible for collecting all criminal court fines, fees, and assessments imposed by the Monterey County Superior Court on criminal cases.
Once a Judicial Officer has imposed a fine, fee or assessment, the defendant is ordered to contact the Monterey County Revenue Division within 3 days to make payment arrangements. The case information and fine, fee and assessment information is then transferred electronically from the Court Case Management Computer System to the Monterey County Revenue Division Collection system.
