Paying San Tan Valley Traffic Tickets

Pioneer Justice Court accepts online payments through AZCourtPay. You can pay with credit or debit cards. A convenience fee applies. You need your citation or case number to find your balance.

The time payment fee is $20 if you set up a payment plan. All civil penalties are due in full on or before your scheduled appearance date. If you cannot pay in full by that date, you must request a payment plan. Missing the deadline without a plan leads to default judgment and additional fees.

Paying your ticket means you admit responsibility. Points go on your driving record. Contact the court before paying if you want to fight the ticket or attend defensive driving school.

Defensive Driving School Option

Arizona law allows most drivers to take a defensive driving class to dismiss traffic tickets. You must request this option before paying or appearing for your court date. Contact Pioneer Justice Court to get approval. The court will tell you the deadline for completing the class and submitting your certificate.

You cannot use traffic school if you completed one for another ticket in the past 12 months. CDL holders cannot use this option for violations while driving commercial vehicles. Completing the course keeps points off your driving record and prevents insurance increases.
