Pay Fines, Fees & Court Costs in Criminal Cases

The sole job of the Oklahoma County Court Clerk’s Cost Administration Department is to collect court-ordered fines, fees, costs and other assessments in criminal cases.

Court-ordered criminal assessments are due at or before the time of sentencing unless Cost Administration provides a defendant with a payment plan as sanctioned by the sentencing Judge, or the Cost Judge. Payment plans are not automatic. Defendants must appear in the Cost Administration Department, as ordered by the sentencing Judge.

No appointments are made and defendants are seen on a first come, first serve basis. Proper attire and proper behavior are required.
