Costs, Fees, & Payment

Costs and Fees
You MUST pay your costs and fees in full before your next court date. If you cannot afford to pay for PDP, a fee waiver application is available in the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office upon request.

Paying Your Fees

  • Costs & fees must be paid in full before you may sign a PDP Agreement or complete any other requirements toward PDP. If you’ve applied for a fee waiver, the waiver must be approved before you may sign a PDP Agreement or complete any other requirements toward PDP.
  • You must have a pay-sheet from PDP staff, which you will be given when you come in during walk-in hours.
  • You will take the pay-sheet to the Monroe County Clerk’s Office
    • The Clerk’s Office will process your fees, give you a receipt and send you straight back to our office.
    • Fees may be paid in the form of cash, money order, or credit card.
    • Money orders must be made out to the CLERK OF MONROE COUNTY.
    • Defendants may not pay online, over the phone, or with personal checks.
    • For payments charged to a credit card you must have the card with you, and not just the card number. If the credit card is not in your own name, the actual cardholder must be physically present. The Clerk’s Office will add an additional processing fee for payments made with a credit card.
    • Cash bonds (posted to be released from jail) may be applied toward your fees. For more information, please contact PDP staff directly.
