Most state law traffic violations are assigned to Division B of the State Court of DeKalb County and most traffic violations are punishable by a maximum fine of $1,000 per charge and maximum jail sentence of up to 12 months. In addition to any fine imposed by the court, the court is required to collect state-mandated surcharges (often 35% or more of the fine) DeKalb County receives only a portion of the fine and fees paid.

Acceptable methods of payment include cash, credit or debit cards and money orders. Personal checks are not accepted.
