COURT PROCEDURES DURING PANDEMIC

If you have received a citation, you must contact the court no less than 5 days and no more than 14 days after the issue date. If you fail to respond within 14 days, it may result in late fees and/or a warrant for your arrest being issued.

The Justice Court uses the State of Utah Uniform Fine Schedule as a guideline in setting bail and sentencing.

Per UCA 76-3-301.7 you may request community service in place of fine payment. You will need to appear in open court with a plan including the non-profit or government agency that has agreed to supervise your service and when you will complete the hours, if approved.

Most charges may be paid online, over the phone, in person or by mail. Some charges require a court appearance. (Appears as ‘Mandatory Court Appearance’ in the comment column of the fine schedule or underlined on common violations.) There is a $3 convenience fee for payments on-line or over the phone.

South Weber offers a 6 month traffic school plea in abeyance which means the guilty or no contest plea will be held until the terms are completed. After 6 months of full compliance, the charge will be dismissed. The administrative fee is $25 in addition to the cost of the violation. You are also required to take a traffic course either on-line (no charge) or with a neighboring city within 60 days.

The City Prosecutor has given the clerks very specific limitations regarding traffic school qualifications. Some qualifications are:

Your current charge must be minor.
1. speed must be under 19 miles over the limit
2. an accident cannot be involved
3. it cannot be in a school zone
You must have a valid driver’s license when cited. You may not have a commercial driver’s license (CDL).
You may not have had a plea in abeyance or attended a traffic school within the last 12 months.
You may not have had more than 2 moving violations within the last three years from any state.

If you believe you qualify and would like to enter a motion to hold your plea in abeyance, please contact the court clerk at 801-479-3177 ext. 2203. After the clerk verifies your eligibility, you will be emailed the appropriate document to be returned by email within seven days. When it is received, the judge will sign an order to hold the plea in abeyance which will be emailed to you at that time with instructions on how to pay and complete the traffic course.
