Online payments for tickets in Metairie require you to have the last name of the person who received the ticket, either the ticket number (which is on the top of your traffic ticket) or case number for the ticket, the first name of the person who received the ticket, and the date of birth of the person who received the ticket. Please note that JPSO assesses a 2.49% convenience fee for credit/debit card payments, but you can avoid this fee when you pay with a checking account.
First Parish Court does not accept payments over the phone.
Always remember to include your ticket number or case number on your check. The ticket number or case number are the best ways for the Clerk’s Office to know which ticket to apply your payment to.
