Kirkland Municipal Court Offering 30-Day Amnesty On Collections Fees For Outstanding Tickets And Fines

Press release from the City of Kirkland:

July 9, 2020

KIRKLAND, Wash. – For the 30-days starting Wednesday, July 15, collection fees on outstanding tickets and fines with the Kirkland Municipal Court will not have to be paid.

If you have an outstanding ticket or fine that has accrued collection fees, now is the time to contact the Kirkland Municipal Court to avoid paying those fees. For the next 30-days, anyone that contacts the Court to pay a ticket or fine, or make payment arrangements, will avoid any and all previously accrued collection fees. Individuals with tickets or fines will only be responsible for paying the original amount that was turned over to collections during this amnesty window.

The Court is in the process of transition collection services from Alliance One to Linebarger. If individuals owing collections fees don’t contact the Court before the 30-day amnesty program is over their accounts will be turned over to Linebarger and collection fees will start to accrue once again.

You may call the Court at 1-844-546-9366 or go online www.Kirklandpay.com to make payments. If you mail payment or use the drop box just outside the front door, then make your check or money order payable to the "Kirkland Municipal Court" and include your citation number in the memo section of your draft. You may also call the court front counter at 425-587-3160, Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to make a credit card payment.
