The purpose of this system is to provide the ability to, make a traffic payment online, research and locate Superior Court of California, County of Placer Criminal, Civil, Traffic, and Family Law matters and create an online account to view your electronic case file for existing cases in the County of Placer.
The most current filings may or may not be in the system. While the court strives to ensure accuracy of the information it provides, the court recognizes that on occasion errors occur. Thus, the court encourages anyone seeking to rely on this information to verify it by checking any court paperwork or notice that you may have. Use of the information contained in the Court's Online Portal is the user’s responsibility.
Note: An account is not required to pay your traffic fine or search for public case records. This can all be done without an account.
