Court Payments

Your payments may be handled by the Clerk of the District Court or by the Court Trustee. How do you know which?

1.    You are being supervised by a Court Services or Community Corrections probation officer and your probation officer sent you to our office for a payment plan; 
2.    The Judge that heard your case sent you to our office for a payment plan;
3.    You appeared for traffic court and the DA’s office sent you to our office for a payment plan; OR
4.    You received a letter from our office advising of your court ordered obligations and the need to contact us to make payment arrangements.

If you do not know whether or not your case has been referred to the Trustee please call us at 785-832-5315 to confirm.
