1. What forms of payment are accepted?

We accept cash, personal checks, money orders and – for most transactions – MasterCard or Visa. Please make checks or money orders payable to the City of Richmond Heights.

2. How can I obtain a continuance on my court date?

Any defendant requesting a continuance must speak with a court clerk. Leaving a message is not acceptable for obtaining a continuance.

3. I am an attorney. How do I obtain a recommendation from the Prosecuting Attorney?

Mail an entry, a request for a recommendation and a self-address, stamped envelope to the court. We will then remove the case from its current docket and you will receive a recommendation along with a new court date/pay date in the mail, usually within 2 weeks after the original docket date.

Please note: Due to the high volume of cases on our dockets, we are not able to pull files for cases set on other dockets dates. Please do not appear in court and ask the clerk to pull any files other than the files set for that evening’s docket.

4. How can I keep points off of my driving record?

If you wish to avoid points being added to your driving record because of a moving violation, you will need to appear on your court date and speak to the judge when your name is called.

5. Do I need an attorney to appear in court?

You are not required to have legal representation to appear in the Richmond Heights Municipal Court, but it is your right to do so if you choose. Richmond Heights Court staff cannot give you legal advice.
