How to Pay Court Fines, Child Support, and Restitution in Bartholomew County

Bartholomew County offers several payment methods depending on your case type. Criminal fines and fees can be paid online at mycase.in.gov - search by cause number or by first and last name within Bartholomew County. Traffic tickets go through public.courts.in.gov using the UTT number from your citation (or a name search). Prefer your phone? PayGOV offers a mobile app for payments. For in-person or drop-off options, there's a courthouse drop box inside the doors on 3rd Street that accepts child support and criminal/judgment/restitution payments. The Clerk's office handles child support, court fines and fees, restitution, filings, and related services in person.

To pay criminal fines and fees online, go to mycase.in.gov. Search by cause number if you have it, or use the person's first and last name (make sure you select Bartholomew County). There's a convenience fee for online payments. Have your case information ready so the payment gets applied to the right account.

Traffic tickets are paid through public.courts.in.gov. Look up your ticket using the UTT number on the citation, or search by name. Like the criminal portal, there's a convenience fee - so the final total will be slightly higher than the base amount.

Want to pay from your phone? Download the PayGOV Mobile app from the App Store or Google Play - search for "paygov mobile." If you run into issues with the platform, PayGOV support is available at 1-866-480-8552.

1. Open PayGOV Mobile and choose “Make Payment” - this starts a quick payment.
2. Enter the PLC (payment location code) - the app uses the PLC to route your payment to the correct agency.
3. Continue through the payment screens - once the PLC is accepted, follow the prompts to finish entering the bill/payment details and submit.

Prefer to drop off a payment? Bartholomew County has a drop box inside the courthouse doors on 3rd Street. It accepts child support payments as well as criminal and judgment/restitution payments.

• ✓ Child support payments in the courthouse drop box: cash only
• ✓ Criminal or judgment/restitution payments in the courthouse drop box: cash or money order

Label your drop box payment carefully - especially for criminal and judgment/restitution. Include the cause number and clearly note which category the payment should go toward. Not sure how to label it? Check the instructions posted near the drop box before submitting.

You can also pay in person at the Bartholomew County Clerk's office. They handle child support, court fines and fees, restitution, filings, and related services. If you need help getting a payment applied correctly, this is often the most direct route.

• ✓ Cause number (bring paperwork that shows it, if you have it)

Gotchas Prepare
