Tulsa Municipal Court is offering an amnesty session for citizens who have outstanding moving violation citations. Moving violation amnesty begins Feb. 24, 2020, and ends March 6.
The amnesty session falls in line with the Resilient Tulsa Strategy, which helps equip all Tulsans with resources to overcome barriers to thrive.
Amnesty is limited to moving violations, which consist of running red lights, speeding, etc. Today, the city has 10,952 unpaid moving violation tickets, which totals more than $1.2 million. During the moving violation amnesty period, individuals will be allowed to pay their citations in full without any late fees or warrant fees.
If they are unable to pay fines in full, individuals will need to see a judge to set up a payment plan as supervised by the Municipal Court Cost Administrator. In these cases, the individual will need to add themselves to the docket and see the judge. Individuals can request to see a judge by visiting the Municipal Courts Office, Court Records, Room 228, between 8-9 a.m. daily.
If the individual had a fine that was assessed by a judge and the defendant failed to pay the fine, they will not be allowed to add themselves to the docket and those cases will not be addressed by the amnesty.
Citizens can pay in-person at the two following locations:
- Municipal Courts, 600 Civic Center, 2nd floor
- Hours: 8 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. Monday – Friday
- City Hall, 175 E 2nd St.
- Hours: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday – Friday
