Do you have a warrant from a years-old Oklahoma City citation? Clear it at a reduced cost during a penalty reduction program until December 31, 2024.
Anyone with a warrant for an unpaid municipal ticket for a class “a” offense dated on or before December 31, 2021, can participate in the program, which reduces the penalty to a cost similar to a ticket paid on time. You won’t be arrested or go to jail.
“We are constantly offering programs and services for our court patrons to address their cases and outstanding warrants in Oklahoma City Municipal Court,” Court Administrator/Assistant City Manager LaShawn Thompson said. "This is an opportunity for people to resolve old unpaid tickets.”
For example, an overdue speeding ticket in warrant status could cost up to $613 to resolve -- $420 for fines, costs and fees, plus $193 for a failure to appear charge. But it can be resolved for $155 during the penalty reduction program.
As with any case in Oklahoma City Municipal Court, people with financial difficulties can request a hearing for a judge to determine their ability to pay. Judges have the discretion to waive or reduce fines, costs and fees for people who can’t afford them.
Call (405) 297-3898 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays) or visit the Municipal Court Customer Service Window, 701 Couch Drive, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday but holidays to pay the ticket or request a hearing about financial difficulties. You can also visit okc.gov/court for an online payment link and other details.
