All traffic tickets are
processed through Tiffin Municipal Court.
If you have received a ticket and have been cited in to Tiffin Municipal
Court you can opt to take one of two routes...
First check the bottom and
back of your citation and make sure the "APPEARANCE REQUIRED" box is not
checked by the officer. If it is YOU MUST APPEAR IN COURT.
If the box is not checked then you may choose to do either of the
following:
If you feel that you
DID commit the offense that you are charged with on the
citation, you may find the amount on the back of your citation copy or you
can simply call the court (419-448-5411) to find out what the fine for
that violation is and mail the fine along with the signed guilty waiver
that is on the back of your copy of the ticket to the court.
If you feel that you DID NOT commit the offense that you
are being charged with, on the bottom of your citation, the officer wrote
in a date and time where you can appear at Tiffin Municipal Court. At that
time you may enter a plea of Not Guilty to the offense and have the matter
set for a Pre-Trial.
***IF YOU DO NOT CALL THE
COURT BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED COURT DATE OR DO NOT APPEAR ON YOUR SCHEDULED
COURT DATE (depending on the option you chose above), A WARRANT
WILL BE ISSUED FOR YOUR ARREST.***
