Traffic Citation Information

How to monitor your case in Cobb State Court

  • You must wait 10-14 business days after receiving your ticket before you attempt to pay a fine or obtain online information regarding your citation.
  • Not all cases can be paid online. Some cases require a mandatory appearance. Failure to appear for a mandatory court appearance may result in a suspension of your Driver's License and/or a Bench Warrant for your arrest.
  • If you have a payable offense and your case is not paid by the court date, your case will go into a Failure to Appear status which may result in a suspension of your Driver's License and/or a Bench Warrant for your arrest.
  • To search for your case, you may use the “Court Records Search” link to find your court-assigned case number, confirm your court date, and track docket entries. If after 14 business days, you cannot locate your citation using the “Court Records Search” link, contact the Clerk’s Office at 770-528-2660 to inquire.
  • If your traffic citation(s) are payable online, you may pay your citation(s) by clicking on the “Pay Traffic Citation” link.   Once paid, the bond amount will be forfeited on your court date and serve as final disposition which will complete your case.  No court appearance is necessary.
  • If your court date changes, the Clerk’s Office will send notice to you by mail at the address on your citation.  If your address on the citation is incorrect or changes at any time, it is your responsibility to notify the court in writing in advance of your court date.
  • To change your address, submit a State Court Change of Address Form.
    • When changing your address, you must have a court-assigned case number. To find your court-assigned case number, use the "Court Records Search" button above.
    • The change-of-address form may be printed, filled out and mailed by US Postal Mail or delivered in person at the State Court Clerk’s Office (2nd floor), or eFiled through PeachCourt by using the "Criminal eFiling" link.
  • At any time, you may call the Clerk’s Office at 770-528-2660.
