MyCitations – Can’t afford to pay your ticket?

Online Ability to Pay Determinations for Infractions 

The Judicial Council, working with seven California Superior Courts has developed an online option for people struggling with court debt from eligible infraction violations not requiring a personal appearance. The "MyCitations" tool allows people to look up their citation, answer a series of simple questions and submit a request to the court for a possible reduction in the amount owed. Users can also request a payment plan, more time to pay or community service. An important alternative to appearing in person, this new option saves both the public and the courts significant time and resources. With the passage of Assembly Bill No. 143 (chapter 79, Statutes of 2021) each of the 58 trial courts will offer online ability-to-pay determinations using MyCitations by June 30, 2024. ​​​

The MyCitations: Ability to Pay tool is currently available in 46 superior courts:

 

Alameda Amador Butte Calaveras Contra Costa
Colusa Del Norte El Dorado Fresno Glenn
Humboldt Imperial Inyo Kings Lassen
Madera Marin Mariposa Mendocino Merced
Modoc Mono Monterey Nevada Placer
Plumas San Benito San Diego San Francisco San Joaquin
San Luis Obispo San Mateo Santa Barbara Santa Clara Santa Cruz
Shasta Sierra Siskiyou Solano Sutter
Tehama Trinity Tulare Ventura Yolo
Yuba        

*Links to additional counties will be added as they begin using MyCitations. 

Planned for 2024 -
MyCitations to launch in Alpine, Kern, Lake, Los Angeles, Napa, Orange, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Sonoma, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne Counties.

If the court you are looking for is not available on the drop down menu from the MyCitations tool, please submit a TR-320 directly to the court to make your request.
