Tickets and Fines

All tickets and fines are to be paid before the Court Date. (Example Ticket and Fine information at the bottom of this page). The Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office allows three ways to pay tickets or fines:

  1. Pay online by clicking here
    Online payments are accepted through nCourt, a 3rd party company. Payments processed by nCourt are subject to a processing fee and may take up to 21 days to process. Once your payment has been processed your receipt can be mailed or faxed to you by request. If you do not call to request a receipt you will not be provided one. If your license is suspended you will need a receipt to have it reinstated. Fine amounts shown on this website do not include any late fees that may be required. While every effort is made to keep these amounts accurate and up-to-date, ANY and ALL amounts shown on this website are tentative and subject to change at any time without notice at the discretion of the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office. If your payment will not arrive by the Due Date (the picture below shows you how to find this) it is your responsibility to call (337)-821-2102 for your new fine amount that will include a late fee. In addition, some violations may also carry a mandatory court appearance.

    When entering the Sheriff's Office location, drive down the entry driveway, through the double gate, to the back building. Enter through the double doors of the main office building and make payments at the counter. If you pay in person, only Cash, Money Orders or Cashier's Checks will be accepted. No Debit Card, Credit Card, or Personal Check will be accepted.  NO EXCEPTIONS. If you pay with a Cashier's Check or a Money Order make it out to: Jeff. Davis Parish Sheriff's Office.
