Effective January 1, 2010, the Las Vegas Township Justice Court will impose a $4 convenience fee for customers using a credit or debit card to pay traffic tickets over the Internet and by phone. Individuals appearing in person to pay fines will not be charged the additional $4, which is in compliance with Visa and Master Card credit card processing rules.
Nevada Revised Statutes 353.1465, 354.770 and 1.113 were amended in 2009 by Assembly Bill (AB) 548 to allow courts, state agencies and local governments to pass on the costs of credit or debit card processing as long as the fee doesn’t exceed the total amount charged by the bank.
