Traffic Summons
(Virginia Uniform Summons Issued After Being Stopped by Law Enforcement)

A Prepayable Offenses Form is available with more information to assist you. You may also call the Prepayable Offenses Information Recording at 703-248-5095 (TTY 711). To prepay tickets online, go to www.courts.state.va.us.

Parking Tickets
(Tickets Left on Vehicle)
Parking tickets are paid to the Treasurer's Office, unless it is set for a court hearing through the Clerk of the Court. Once a ticket is set for a court hearing, it is subject to court processing fees pursuant to Virginia Code §16.1-69.48, §17.1-281, and §53.1-120. These fees are assessed upon a finding of guilt, whether by court decision or prepayment. No such fees are assessed upon dismissal or nolle prosequi (not prosecuted). Prepayment for parking tickets after a court hearing is scheduled, must be made to the Clerk of the Court. Contact the Clerk's Office for the procedure to schedule a court hearing for a parking ticket.
