I received a traffic ticket, now what?

Violations may be resolved by paying the fine on the ticket.

Traffic tickets may be paid by mail or in person :

Town of Westcliffe
P. O. Box 406
305 Main Street
Westcliffe, CO 81252

Send a copy of the ticket with payment. 

By making payment, the violator admits guilt. The points assessed, if any, will be reduced if paid by the date stated on your ticket. A record will be sent to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. They will assess the appropriate number of points to the driving history. If you were issued a summons or you wish to contest a ticket, you MUST appear in Municipal Court.

I was unable to renew my Driver's License because of a Default Judgment filed by the Town of Westcliffe, how do I find out what to do?

You most likely have an outstanding traffic ticket and failure to appear charge, contact the Court Clerk to arrange payment of the fine and any additional fees or to appear in Court.

How do I plead Not Guilty and have my day in Court?

Keep in mind that only the Judge can dismiss a case. Then, please appear in Court on the day and time listed on your ticket. Check in with the Clerk, you will be given a copy of "Your Rights in Court".

Read carefully! If you can't appear on that date and time, contact the Court Clerk during business hours. If you would like a copy of "Your Rights in Court", contact the Court Clerk at (719)783-2282 or Email us.
