Highlights whether the violation qualifies for ClerkHero's Trial by Written Declaration service.
California courts update penalty assessments quietly. We track those changes, layer them onto the statewide bail schedule, and verify against thousands of live cases each quarter.
A $100 base fine often turns into $380–$420 once state and county assessments stack. Our dataset reflects the full amount due—not just the number printed on the citation.
Los Angeles, Orange, Santa Clara, and border counties tack on extra court security and EMS fees. We monitor each county and update the multipliers when those surcharges shift.
One point typically raises premiums 20–25%. Two points can double it. We show the point count so you understand the real exposure—not just the court cost.
If the violation is TR-205 eligible, ClerkHero prepares a mail-in defense packet. If the officer doesn’t respond, the ticket is dismissed and the points disappear.
We combine California's statewide bail schedules, county-level penalty assessments, and thousands of recent ClerkHero cases to surface what drivers actually pay in 2024–2025. When a county publishes an update, we roll it in.

The base fine is just the starting point. California layers 9–12 mandatory assessments for court construction, emergency medical services, DNA funds, and county programs. Those multipliers typically add 350–400% to the base amount.
If the violation is eligible for Trial by Written Declaration (TR-205), we prepare the entire defense packet so you can dispute it by mail. For misdemeanors and mandatory-appearance cases, we share playbooks and can connect you with partner attorneys.
