Fine Payments
The Court accepts cash, checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover for payment of fines.
New Citations:
If you wish to pay your traffic fine by mail, please attach your traffic citation or include the citation number (from the top right corner) on your check or money order. You may also submit a written explanation, if you wish. If you decide to plead guilty or no contest by regular mail, you must submit the full base fine amount shown on your copy of the ticket for each violation listed.
If you want to appear before the judge on a traffic citation or municipal code violation, you must appear at your scheduled arraignment on a Thursday morning. The specific date and time for your appearance is stated on the front of the citation (lower left corner). Note that if you have been charged with a crime, you must appear in person, and failing to do so will likely result in the issuance of a warrant for your arrest.
Important: At this time, you cannot enter a plea or file any paperwork by sending an email to the Court or webmaster. Emails DO NOT constitute an appearance or written explanation by a defendant. You must contact the Court in writing through standard mail or you must appear at the scheduled time.
Monthly Fine Payments:
If you would like to mail in a monthly payment on a fine where you have already appeared in Court or made payment arrangements with the Court, you may mail a check or money order made payable to "City of St. Helens" and send it to 265 Strand Street, St. Helens, OR 97051. To ensure proper posting and credit to your account, you must include your full name and case number.
You may also make payments in person at the Court office, and we will accept card payments by phone.
Online Payments:
Monthly payments can be made online by going to the City's home page and clicking on Payments at the bottom of the screen.
