Fine Amounts

Look Up Fine(s) for a Citation 

---

You can look up the fine amount for a citation (ticket) in our Citation Payment System. The total amount owed will include any late fees that apply. NOTE: It can take 20 days or more after a citation was issued before it is entered into the court’s system. If you get a message of "No Records Found," please check again in a few days. You can also call the Criminal/Traffic Court at 612-348-2040 to ask about fines.

See the list of Common Fines (for citations with only one charge or offense)

How to Calculate Fine Amounts

---

You can calculate fine amounts by using the Tables of Fines below, but please note the following:

• A citation usually includes numbers for MN Statutes and/or city Ordinances. A statute is a statewide law, and a city ordinance is a law that applies to actions in a particular city or municipality.
• Some citations may include number for the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which applies to certain violations involving commercial vehicles.
• Police Officers often abbreviate the statute or ordinance number. Example: MN Stat. 169.26(2)(a) means that the citation was issued under the MN Statutes, Chapter 169, Section 26, Subdivision 2, Paragraph a, for failure to stop at a railroad crossing. The officer might only write 169.26s2 on the ticket.
• Make sure the offense described in the statute or ordinance listed on the ticket matches the offense with which you are charged.
• If you got a ticket for a speeding charge (MN Statute § 169.14) and the speed listed was 20 or more miles per hour over the posted limit, there is an additional surcharge of $67.00 for a total fine of $212.
• If there is more than one charge or offense on a citation, it can be confusing to calculate the total amount, so follow the steps in "How to Calculate the Fine Amount for a Citation with More than One Charge."
