How to Calculate

Fine amount plus a $101 processing fee for criminal citation. However, if you prepay more than one violation arising out of the same incident (same officer at the same time), add only one processing fee plus a $40 fee per charge.

The court must receive a copy of the summons together with a check or money order at least five working days before the trial date. If the summons is not forwarded with payment, the court will be unable to properly credit the account. 

Personal checks must have the correct name, address and phone number preprinted on the check. The electronic accounting number must also be preprinted at the bottom of the check. Please make checks payable to Virginia Beach General District Court.
