Newton Falls Municipal Court

Welcome to the Online Ticket Payment Program for the Newton Falls Municipal Court. As part of an ongoing process of expanding services and incorporating technology in day-to-day operations, you can now pay eligible citations online.

PAYMENT OF CITATION WITHOUT COURT APPEARANCE (WAIVERS):
Ohio law allows certain traffic citations to be resolved by a Traffic Violations Bureau instead of appearing in Court. If your citation qualifies, payment can be made either in person, by fax, mail, or now online, as long as it is received by the Clerk's office prior to the Court date and time which can be found on the bottom of your citation or by accessing the record search information. You must pay the full amount, NO partial payment can be accepted.

Court records are updated every 24 hours so if you forgot or missed your Court date, you should check the status after that time. You may still qualify to pay but note that a "LATE" fee will be charged and the amount due will change. If you do not qualify for payment, you MUST appear in person at the Clerk's office as a warrant has already been issued for your arrest and/or notification to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles of a license forfeiture and/or block along with additional fees.

MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS ON CITATION(S)

The result of your search will display all cases relevant to that search. Tickets can contain up to seven (7) separate charges, if you are paying to waive a Court appearance, make sure you are paying all the charges. Multiple cases per ticket are listed with letters after the case number as illustrated below:



PROOF OF INSURANCE
Proof of insurance is a state of Ohio requirement. To verify that you showed proof of insurance to the Officer, look at the "Case Information" page by clicking the case number(s) on the list ofmatching cases. An example of this screen is shown below:



If "Yes", then you have complied with the State of Ohio requirements, no further action on your behalf is required. If "No", the Court is required to notify the State of Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles who in turn will mail you a request for proof of insurance. Failure to comply will result in a suspension of your driving priveleges. DO NOT SEND PROOF OF INSURANCE TO THE COURT AFTER PAYMENT.
