If you are under a license suspension for non-payment of
reinstatement fees owed to the Ohio Bureau of Motor
Vehicles (BMV), you may petition the court to approve a
plan for payment of fees, so you may drive. Payment
plans will likely be approved if the plan provides for
payment of at least $50.00 per month to the BMV with
payment of all fees within 180 days.
Every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. drivers who wish to petition
for a payment plan and driving privileges should report
to the Traffic Division of the Clerk's Office. Proof
of insurance must be shown if driving privileges are
requested. The driver must otherwise be qualified to
operate a motor vehicle to obtain driving privileges
with a payment plan.
If the reinstatement fees are associated with a case in
another court, the court will charge a $85 filing fee.
Enforcement of warrants for arrest is solely the
responsibility of law enforcement agencies.
Individuals with information regarding the current
whereabouts or address of an individual who is the
subject of a warrant are asked to contact the
following:
These agencies will investigate the matter to determine
if there is a valid warrant for the individual concerned
and whether this is the individual named in the warrant.
Other factors involved include jurisdiction, distance,
and age of the offense/warrant. Individuals should
never attempt to enforce a warrant themselves.
If you learn that you have a warrant for your arrest
issued by this court, contact the court immediately at
419.872.7925. Many times the warrant can be withdrawn
when you schedule a date to appear before the judge.
