Can I pay someone else's fines?

Answer

We do allow generous patrons to pay the fines for their loved ones. Because we will not disclose personal account information to another person (account number, account status, amount owed, etc.), you must provide the needed information to proceed with the payment. This includes:

  1. The account number and name of the person whose fines you wish to pay
  2. The total amount that you will pay. We cannot disclose if this amount is more or less than their amount owed, but we will not accept funds beyond what is owed.
