Fines and Fees

The fines and fees associated with a Ventura County DUI are much harsher than in most California counties. The Ventura County DUI fines and fees tend to go up every year, and for 2009 they amount to $3202. You only have to pay the Ventura County DUI fines and fees if you plead guilty or lose your case at trial. You do not have to pay the DUI fines and fees all at once, as the Collections Department of the Ventura County Superior Court will typically allow you to make payments.

One other option in regards to Ventura County DUI fines and fees is to serve more jail time in lieu of payments. While you cannot serve all of the fines and fees off, it is possible to do extra jail time to satisfy about $2000, leaving you with a balance of about $1000. Depending on how crowded the jail is when you do your time, it is possible that you could get out of jail after about only five extra days of time.
