Paying Pinal County Traffic Tickets

You can pay traffic fines online or by mail. The Pinal County Courts website has links to payment options for each precinct. Most precincts use AZCourtPay for online payments. You need your citation number or case number to pay.

When you pay a traffic ticket, you accept responsibility for the violation. Points go on your driving record. You give up your right to contest the ticket or attend defensive driving school. If you want to fight the ticket or take traffic school, do not pay online. Contact the court first to learn about your options.

Payment plans are available if you cannot pay the full amount at once. The time payment fee is $20. You must request a plan before your court date passes. The court reviews your situation and sets up monthly payments. If you fail to pay on time, the court may suspend your license and add more fees.

All civil penalties are due in full on or before the 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, license suspension, and additional fees.

Defensive Driving in Pinal County

You may be able to dismiss your ticket by completing a defensive driving course. This keeps points off your license and the violation off your public record. Most civil traffic tickets qualify for this option.

To use defensive driving, you must complete the class at least 7 days before your court date. Register with an approved school through the Arizona Courts DDP page. The school checks if you are eligible based on state rules. You cannot have used defensive driving for another ticket in the past 12 months.

Note: If you have already paid your ticket, you cannot attend defensive driving. The payment is final.

Pinal County Sheriff Records

The Pinal County Sheriff's Office keeps records of traffic stops and accidents. If you need a copy of an accident report, you can request it online or in person.

Contact the Sheriff's Records Division at 520-866-5142 for assistance. Accident reports cost $7.50 for up to 25 pages. You can request reports in person at the Sheriff's Office or through the online portal. Include the date, location, and names of people involved when you make your request.

Court records and sheriff records are different things. The court has your ticket, case status, and payment info. The sheriff has the underlying report from the traffic stop or accident scene.
