Frequently Asked Questions

You are required to attend court if the word "summons" is indicated on your citation. If a fine amount is indicated instead of a summons, you may pay your citation prior to your court date.  If not paid prior to your court date, you must attend court in person on the court date listed on your citation.

If you are wanting to negotiate a reduction of points through Traffic School or Useful Public Service, you must appear in court on your arraignment date to conference with the Town Prosecutor. Each case is processed separately and there is no guarantee your request or plea will be accepted.

Berthoud Municipal Court may grant you a one-time courtesy continuance to our next month's court date.

Please send your request for continuance by email to the Court.

In your request please include your full name, citation number and that you are requesting a continuance and that you understand that you are waiving your right to a speedy trial.

A payment plan may be requested in person at municipal court and is subject to the approval of the Municipal Judge. 

Please email the Berthoud Municipal Court Clerk or call the direct line at 970-344-5801.
