Payments

• Cash, cashier’s checks, and money orders are accepted. Credit cards are accepted for online payments only. 
• Wait seven days after receiving a ticket to make a payment. 
• Penalties are per City of Fishers Ordinances, Section 36.08. Fines double if not paid within 30 days. Pay the full, exact fine amount; partial payments are not accepted and may result in enforcement action. 

How to Pay

Enter a Denial

If you wish to enter a denial, you may appear within thirty (30) days of the ticket to enter a written denial of the violation and request a trial.  If you timely enter a denial and are found in violation at trial, your ticket amount will be the original fine of the ticket.  If you do not timely enter a denial and are found in violation by the City Court Judge, your fine will be double the amount set for tickets not paid within 30 days.  

For example, a ticket written under Section 72.22 is $20 if paid within 30 days.  If you timely file a denial and judgment is entered against you, the judgment will be in the amount of $20.  If you do not timely file a denial, the judgment will be in the amount of $40.  

Ordinance Enforcement Action 

If your ticket is not paid within sixty (60) days of the date of the ticket, the Ordinance Violations Bureau Clerk will report your ticket to the City Attorney’s office.  The City Attorney will file an enforcement action against you and a trial will be set in City Court.  If the City Attorney’s office files an enforcement action and you are found in violation, the amount of the fine will be double the amount set for tickets not paid within 30 days. Any ordinance violation filed in City Court may also result in the assessment of Court costs.
