Sentence
Enforcement

 

If you do not pay your fine on your court date, the court may:

  • Impose late fees:  Arizona law requires an additional $20.00 penalty if the fine/sanction is not paid in full by your appearance date or on your sentencing date.  Other late fees may be imposed in accordance to local ordinance.
     
  • Suspend your driver license and that information is available to your auto insurance company, which may cause your rates to increase.
     
  • Issue a warrant for your arrest and your warrant will go into the regional law enforcement warrant system.
     
  • Notify a credit bureau about your bad debt and place your future credit at risk.
     
  • Seize your wages, tax refunds, bank accounts or personal property such as your car if nonexempt.
     
  • Notify a collection agency to take action to collect the unpaid balance.
