Municipal Court

The Del Norte Municipal Court is presided over by the Honorable Judge Barbara Zollars.

The Municipal Court shall have original jurisdiction on all cases arising under this Code and other ordinances of the Town, with full power to carry the same into effect and to punish violations thereof by the imposition of fines and penalties in accordance with Section 1-4-20 of this Code.

Del Norte Court handles citations issued by the Del Norte Police Department for traffic, parking, ordinance violations and petty/misdemeanor offenses.

Paying Court Fees

Payment in full of all fines, costs, fees and restitution (if applicable) is due and payable immediately upon a plea of guilty or a finding of guilty.

If you wish to pay a fine before your scheduled court, you may do so in most cases. Many cases are payable in advance of Court and, if paid, do not require a Court appearance.

By paying the fine, you are pleading guilty to the charged offense. Based upon the payment, a conviction would be entered. If the charge is a violation of the Model Traffic Code, a report of the conviction would be made to the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles and points would be assessed on your driver’s record. The number of points for each offense should be indicated on the summons.
