Fines & Fees Assessment

Compute the fines, fees, costs, and surcharges owed on every case from your jurisdiction’s schedules, apply ability-to-pay adjustments, waivers, and community-service conversions, and produce one accurate obligation ledger. That ledger feeds Payment Reminders and GovPayPlan, so what people are asked to pay is always right.

The problem

What a person owes is assembled by hand, one statute at a time.

Court costs, fines, fees, and surcharges come from dozens of statutes that change, and assembling the right total by hand is slow and inconsistent from clerk to clerk. Ability to pay is hard to factor in, waivers and community-service conversions live on paper, and the balance that reaches the person is often wrong. Fines & Fees Assessment computes the obligation from your jurisdiction’s schedules, applies ability-to-pay and waivers, and produces one ledger that Payment Reminders and GovPayPlan work from.

What it does

Every capability inside Fines & Fees Assessment: built in, configurable, and connected to the rest of the platform.
