If your traffic ticket is bonded, you will be required to pay a refundable fee of $40 to the court before you are able to proceed with your dispute. Bonds are typically related to the rescheduling of a court hearing date, but may also be applicable in alternative cases as well.
If your ticket is dismissed, you will receive a full refund for your payment of the bond.
If your ticket is found guilty, the bond will go towards the payment of the ticket fine.
