Town Court

Payments Online

In an effort to better serve the public, the Irondequoit Town Court accepts payment online. Please note that online payments are available for traffic infractions and parking violations only. Fines and surcharges associated with criminal convictions and NYS "Scoff Lift" fees (fees associated with the reinstatement of NYS driver's licenses following a suspension) must be paid in person at the Court during regular business hours. Attempts to pay these fines/fees using the online service will result in the transaction being canceled by the Irondequoit Town Court.

Please note: that online payments will incur a 4% service charge. To avoid this charge, payments may be made via cash or money order in person at the Irondequoit Town Court during regular business hours.

FAQs

Who can file Small Claims?

Please visit the Small Claims page for more information.

When is my court date?

Your court date is specific to your case. Please contact the Irondequoit Town Court at 585-336-6040 to speak with the Court Clerk.

I can't make my court date, what do I do?

If you have an attorney, contact your attorney, do not call the court. If you do not have an attorney, you must have a valid excuse for seeking a new appearance date (also called an adjournment). Proof may be required. Please note that while the Court will seek to accommodate all reasonable requests, you are not entitled to an adjournment and the Court is not required to offer you a new appearance date.

To request an adjournment, please call the Irondequoit Town Court at 585-336-6040 a minimum of 24 hours before your scheduled appearance. Failure to appear in court may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest.

Additional information regarding adjournments:

Appearances on criminal charges (Misdemeanors and Felonies) cannot be rescheduled.
Under no circumstances will the Court offer more than three adjournments of an appearance date.
You may only request an adjournment in person or by phone. Under no circumstances will adjournment requests be accepted via email or through a third party.

I have received a traffic ticket - what do I do now?

There are three ways to answer a traffic ticket:

Plead Guilty by mail (Section A of your ticket). Print your name and current address, including zip code, date, and sign. A fine and surcharge will be imposed by the Court and you will be notified by mail, with payment instructions.
Plead Not Guilty by mail (Section B of your ticket). Print your name and current address, including zip code, date, and sign. A new court date will be mailed to you at which time you will be scheduled for a conference with the Assistant District Attorney assigned to Irondequoit Town Court. This should not be understood as a personal appointment and traffic matters are heard at the end of the criminal docket.
Personally appear on the court date stated on the face of your ticket (located at the lower left corner of your ticket). The Assistant District Attorney will screen your ticket at that date and time.

How do I contest a parking violation?

To contest a Parking Violation, you may contact the Court at 585-336-6040 to schedule an appearance before the Judge on a date when parking is being heard. For more information, please visit the Irondequoit Winter Parking Ordinance page.

Do I need an attorney for a traffic infraction?

Whether or not you need an attorney to handle your traffic infraction is a personal decision that only you can make. If your license is in jeopardy based on the point system or if a traffic charge resulted from an accident, you are advised to consult an attorney. If you are charged with a criminal offense, you are advised to consult an attorney.

If I post bail, when can I get it back?

If you are not the defendant, bail will be released by the Judge when the case is disposed of. If the case is transferred to Grand Jury, you must wait until an order is received from the Superior Court. Bail is returned via check and is not available for pickup for approximately 1 week after release. Please note that a 3% bail poundage fee may apply.

If you are the defendant, bail will be released:

After your case is disposed of.
After you have successfully completed your community service where required.
After any fines are paid (unless bail is applied to the fine).

If your case has been transferred to the grand jury, the court must receive an order from the Superior Court to release bail. Bail is returned via check and is not available for pickup for approximately 1 week after release. Please note that a 3% bail poundage fee may apply.

What if I have a question about a parking violation?
