Time Payment of Fines/Forfeitures:

The payment of restitution, fines, costs, fees, surcharges, et al. must be completed within 60 days of sentencing. All debts are submitted to Wisconsin Department of Revenue-Tax Intercept Program after the initial court ordered due date (60 days from sentencing). In addition, statutory failure to pay actions may be added to all past due balances not under a deferred payment agreement.  

Deferred Payment Agreements:

Deferred Payment Agreements are available to Defendants convicted of State, County, and Municipal offenses in Rock County Circuit Court. Deferred Payment Agreements are also available to other individuals who cannot pay their court-ordered obligation by the court-ordered due date. If the party desires more than 60 days to pay, he/she must contact the Clerk of Court's Office in person or by calling (608) 743-2216 before the 60 days has expired to make an application for a deferred payment plan. A service fee of $15.00 will be assessed fir all payment plan contracts, including renewals and revisions. 

Payment amounts will be based on the party's ability to pay and determined by the Collections/Account Specialist. The minimum monthly payment for a Deferred Payment Agreement is $25.00. Contracts will be for a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year. If the party cannot pay the full balance of the Deferred Payment Agreement within one year, it will automatically be renewed for a period of one year. If the party cannot or does not pay the full balance of the Deferred Payment Agreement by the end of the second year, it shall be the responsibility of the party to request another extension and provide an updated financial statement to the Collections/Account Specialist for a decision. 

Failure to make a payment as agreed will result in cancellation of the payment plan without notification. A cancelled payment plan cannot be reinstated; statutory penalties will be enforced. 

If the party's financial status changes substantially while on a payment plan, he/she must contact the Collections/Account Specialist immediately. The party will be asked to provide supporting documentation before any contract will be reviewed for possible revision.
