| West
Slope Approximately three
to five weeks after you receive a traffic citation on the Western
Slope
of El Dorado County, a courtesy notice will be mailed to you.
This notice will provide you with a bail amount, which is the
amount of the fine. Your appearance date will be on the bottom
of the citation. Some violations require a mandatory appearance
in court and will not list a bail amount.
You may pay the bail amount indicated on the courtesy notice and
then not appear. That will end the matter. If you wish to contest
your citation, ask the judge for a fine less than your bail amount,
or seek to pay your fine over time, you should appear on your
assigned date. If you cannot appear on your assigned date, you
must contact the court in advance; otherwise, a warrant for your
arrest will be issued.
You may pay your bail or fine with cash or a check, either in
person or by mail. If you wish to pay by credit/debit card, please

and the three-week waiting period has ended, please contact the
court at (530) 621-7470. The Placerville
Traffic Division is open 8:00 a.m. to
