Court Fees

Use Pay By Web to pay balances owed on disposed cases. Disposed means you have been found or plead guilty on a criminal or traffic case OR there is a final judgment on a civil case. Payments typically will be posted within one business day.

Instructions for Post-Court Payments

Payments must be received within 30 days following your court date to prevent a time payment fee from being charged. Payments made in accordance with a court-approved payment plan are due on the agreed upon date. If the court has not received your payment within 30 days following your payment due date, your payment plan will be sent to debt collection and your Missouri income tax refund could be withheld to pay toward your balance due.
