Community Service

Program

• The Community Service Program provides continuous supervision for defendants who have been court-ordered to perform community service hours. The court may order defendants to complete the hours as a condition of their sentence or in lieu of fines and costs.
• Community service hours must be performed through an approved nonprofit agency.

• For defendants who perform their community service out of the county or state, referral information will be forwarded, upon verification of the selected nonprofit agency approval. 

 Fees

• Registration fee: $35 per case number
• Registration fee for DUI-related cases: $75

Money orders, Visa or MasterCard credit cards are accepted for all fees.

Fees are collected to assist with liability and insurance costs.

Process

• Appointments are scheduled for defendants Monday-Friday from 1-4 p.m. The defendant completes a questionnaire. The questionnaire is screened and the defendant is placed with an agency from the community service agency listing.
• Consideration is given to the defendant concerning his or her medical condition, work schedule, and transportation needs, regarding placement.
• The defendant is given an agency referral form and time sheet to give to the supervisor of the agency.
• Upon completion of their hours, the time sheet is returned to the community service coordinator for verification.
