The 48th District Court in Bloomfield Hills is waiving late fees, bench warrant fees and penalties for civil infractions, from May 1 through June 13.

This late fee forgiveness is for 48th District Court cases only. It has no bearing on original fines, costs and Secretary of State clearance fees which must be paid in full to take advantage of the program, and no payment plans will be set up.

Also, bench warrants issued for those failing to appear at a show cause hearing for nonpayment of a civil infraction will be canceled during the forgiveness period if original fines, costs and clearance fees are paid in full.

Payments can be made with money orders or certified checks mailed to the court or placed in the drop box near the courthouse’s front door. Personal checks and business checks will not be accepted for payment. Cash payments can be made inside the courthouse.

Pay online with a credit or debit card at www.48thdistrictcourt.us, and include the citation number. A service fee will be added to online payments.

To confirm a civil infraction is eligible and to get the amount owed, call the court at 248-686-5150 or 248-686-5148, Monday through Friday, between 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Communities served by 48th District Court include Bloomfield and West Bloomfield townships, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Keego Harbor, Orchard Lake Village and Sylvan Lake.
