A waiverable offense is a misdemeanor that carries a fine that can be paid without making a court appearance. The fine is paid to the Violations Bureau of the court. If you choose to make a court appearance, the payout amount no longer applies. The magistrate will determine the fine amount, and court costs will be added to that amount.

You may obtain a continuance by signing a Time Waiver, and your case will be continued until the next court date. Please contact the Clerk of Court at (513) 774-3030 for a continuance or further information.

If you are unable to pay your fines and costs in full on the day of court, you may be given additional time to pay. We will place you on a payment plan that you set up with the Clerk of Court.
