The court accepts personal check, money order, or cash as methods of payment. A payment by credit card is also available through “Official Payments Corporation” either online at www.officialpayments.com or by calling 1-800-2PayTax (1-800-272-9829). The Yelm Municipal Court jurisdiction code is 8026. You must also have your case number to make this payment. A fee is charged by “Official Payments Corporation” for this service. The court cannot accept credit card payments at the front counter or by phone through the court office. You must directly contact “Official Payments Corporation”. If you are paying by check or money order, please make sure your case number is listed at the bottom and make your check out to Yelm Municipal Court. If you cannot pay your fine in full, you may set up a payment agreement with the court to make monthly payments. A $10 fee per infractions or $25 per payment plan will be assessed on all infractions to be scheduled on a time payment plan. This fee is due immediately. It is your responsibility to request a time pay from the court.
Failure to pay a fine will result in collection action. The court will mail to you, at your last know address, a final notice for payment prior to collection action. You have 30 days to make a payment and sign a time pay agreement in order to prevent collection action. Once the case is assigned to collections, it cannot be recalled. If you have a case in collections, you must contact Alliance One at 1-800-456-8838. Payments must be made directly to the collection agency. Once the case is paid in full, Alliance One will notify the court electronically.
Alliance One Collection Agency has a program called the PIA program in which you can make payment arrangements with a down payment and the hold from your license will be lifted. You must make this arrangement with the collection agency and you must comply with the payment arrangements specified. Once you have made these arrangements, Alliance One will notify the court electronically that the hold on your license can be lifted. The court immediately notifies DOL electronically to adjudicate the hold on your license.
