FAQs
What if I cannot afford to pay for a traffic citation from the Sacramento County?
If you cannot afford to pay the fine, you may appear in person and request to perform community service in lieu of the fine at your arraignment date (date listed on your citation). If your case qualifies and your request for community service is granted, you may be required to pay court fees as well as community service registration and daily fees. The registration and daily fees for community service are based on your ability to pay.
Community service placements are handled by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. There are a variety of assignments available for all education levels and physical limitations. Flexible schedules and hours may also be available. Please note that you cannot be sentenced to community service and Traffic Violator School on the same case.
