average of 50,000 cases every year. State, municipal and
county police agencies deposit all traffic, DUI, and
conservation citations in Sangamon County with the Traffic
Division. Traffic Division clerks enter cases and pleadings
into an electronic case management system, dispose cases
with the order of the court, and report these dispositions
to the
AOIC and the
Illinois Secretary of State. The
Traffic Division also accepts payments for traffic fines
pre- or post-plea in room 405 of the Sangamon County
Building. Accepted forms of payment are cash, credit or
debit cards, cashier’s checks, and money orders.
Personal checks are accepted from Sangamon County
residents only.

mailed as well, along with a completed appearance plea of
guilty in addition to the payment.

you can plead guilty only by mail.
