Offenders Given One Last Chance To Pay Outstanding Fines
Las Vegas – Overwhelming demand has led the Las Vegas Township Justice Court to extend its Traffic Amnesty one more week through February 13, 2009.
“This extension is a one time event and will allow everyone wanting to clear up outstanding traffic tickets a chance to do so,” said Chief Judge Ann Zimmerman. “We thank everyone for their willingness to come to the court to honor their obligations.”
The counters at the Las Vegas Township Justice Court’s Traffic Division are open 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. This Saturday only (Feb. 7), the court will be open from 9 a.m. to noon to handle traffic payments. Additionally, individuals can pay traffic fines from home or office by using the court’s online system 24 hours a day at http://www.clarkcountycourts.us/paythefine or pay by phone by dialing (702) 671-3444.
After February 13, 2009, the Justice Court will begin issuing warrants for individuals who have failed to pay outstanding traffic tickets and will actively pursue collection for any outstanding obligation by turning over past due tickets to a collection agency.
Since the court sent out warnings in early December 2009, the Las Vegas Township Justice Court has collected more than $4 million in outstanding traffic tickets and closed more than 7,000 active cases.
