Information on Traffic and Parking Summonses

Once a traffic summons is issued and if you plan to plead not guilty and have a trial, you must notify the Court Administrator of your intention at least seven (7) days prior to your scheduled court date. If you fail to notify the Court (201)-858-6934 it may be necessary for you to make 2 court appearances.

Only summonses with a checked court appearance date will be listed on the court agenda. Defendants who have a summons that does not require a court appearance, but would like to appear must follow the above procedure.

If payment is made by mail, do not send cash, but send a check or money order payable to Bayonne Municipal Court, 630 Avenue C, Bayonne, New Jersey 07002. Payment is due on or before the date listed on the bottom of the summons. If payment is received after that date, you may be assessed a late fee.

A receipt will be sent only if a payment is accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

If you fail to appear in response to a summons or to pay the prescribed penalty, additional penalties may result. A warrant may be issued for your arrest and your driving privileges in New Jersey may be revoked.

If you have been charged with a parking offense, your failure to appear or pay the prescribed penalty shall be considered an admission of liability and a default judgement may be entered against the owner of the vehicle.
