Q. What if I can’t pay the forfeiture by the due date on the Defendant’s Notice of Judgment?
A. You may request an extension of time in which to pay your forfeiture (fine). Any requests for extensions MUST be made prior to the due date. If you wish to request an extension you must:

Send a written request to the Ashwaubenon Municipal Court Office at 2155 Holmgren Way, Ashwaubenon Bay, WI 54304 -OR- email us at: court@ashwaubenon.gov.

This Municipal Court does take partial payments and the Judge does consider any payments made (or not made) before granting any extensions.

A. You will be found guilty by default (your fine will go up $12.60) and you will be given 60 days in which to pay the fine.

Q. What if I fail to pay my forfeiture (fine)?
A. If you fail to pay your forfeiture by the due date and fail to request an extension, the Municipal Court will begin the process of the alternative or back-end sentence that is listed on your Defendant’s Notice of Judgment which can either be:

Suspension of driver’s license:

Your driver’s license will be suspended up to one (1) year; and
The tax interception of your State of Wisconsin tax refund will be submitted to the State.

-OR-

Incarceration:

A Writ of Commitment will be issued for your arrest; and
The tax interception of your State of Wisconsin tax refund will be submitted to the State.

Note: If your overdue forfeiture is part of the tax intercept program through the State of Wisconsin, the account stays active for 8 years unless the fine is either paid in full and/or you sit the time in jail.

Serving the complete (1) one-year suspension of driver’s license does not relieve/ clear your debt with us pursuant to WI State Statue 800.095(1)(a)(4).

If you were convicted in this court as a juvenile, the debt is not relieved/cleared when you become an adult. It is still your responsibility to pay the judgment with us.

Q. What if I need an interpreter/translator?
A. Please contact Ashwaubenon Municipal Court at 920.492.2307 and we will provide an interpreter and/or translator at your court proceeding at no cost to you.
