How Do I...
Pay fines
Sacramento customers can pay their fines and fees online using a credit or debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo.
-
Log in to My Account.
-
Click the link that lists your fines.
-
Click the Pay Online button.

Select the fines that you wish to pay, complete all of the relevant information, and click submit.
-
Next a confirmation page will appear. You can print a copy of your receipt at this time and/or click OK. If you have a valid e-mail address, receipt of payment will be sent to the e-mail address you entered in step 4.
