Pay Traffic Ordinance – Disposed Cases Only

If your case has been disposed, you can make payments at Canton Municipal Court, 400 Lewis St., Canton MO 63435 by cash, check or Money Order. You can also mail check or Money Order payments to Canton Municipal Court, PO Box 231, Canton, MO. Making payments online using a card or an electronic check are also options for you.

No one from a court will ever contact you by phone and ask for payment or credit card information.


If you use a credit/debit card for Pay By Web, a convenience fee will be assessed based on the amount of the transaction. There is a .50 cent flat rate when payment is made by electronic check.

Pay After Going to Court and Been Found or Plead Guilty

Use Pay By Web to pay balances owed on disposed cases. Disposed means you have been found or plead guilty on a criminal or traffic case OR there is a final judgment on a civil case. Payments typically will be posted within one business day.

Instructions for Post-Court Payments

Payments must be received within 30 days following your court date to prevent a time payment fee from being charged. Payments made in accordance with a court-approved payment plan are due on the agreed upon date. If the court has not received your payment within 30 days following your payment due date, your payment plan will be sent to debt collection and your Missouri income tax refund could be withheld to pay toward your balance due.
