During the month of July, Dunwoody Municipal Court will hold an amnesty program for individuals with past-due traffic citations and/or active bench warrants for failing to appear in court. The goal is to settle outstanding violations with the court and reduce arrests.
“We thought this would be timely since our amnesty program is designed to encourage people to come back to court by easing their financial burden,” said Dunwoody Municipal Court Clerk Norlaundra Huntington. “Some people may think this is a trick, but it’s definitely not.”
Those who want to take advantage of the program can walk into Municipal Court, located at 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road, on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. only.
During that time, if individuals pay their fines in full, all contempt fees will be forgiven. If the individual’s offense(s) requires a mandatory court appearance, the individual will be granted a future court date to appear before a judge, and all warrants will be cleared and warrant fees forgiven.
Forms of payment that will be accepted are cash, money order, cashier checks, and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard only) but no personal checks. For more information, call 678.382.6973.
