Pay a Traffic Ticket in Dubois County - Important Note First
Before you pay any Dubois County traffic ticket online, read this carefully. If you are interested in the Dubois County Prosecutor's deferral program, do NOT pay online through PayGov or any other portal. Paying your ticket is treated as a guilty plea and closes the case, which makes you ineligible for deferral. Call the Clerk's Office at (812) 481-7035 first to ask whether your citation qualifies for the deferral program.
If your case has already been sent to collections, do not use PayGov. Use PayCourt.com instead. The county uses a different collection agency for past-due court obligations, and paying through the wrong portal may not apply your payment correctly. If you are unsure whether your case is in collections, call the Clerk's Office before attempting to pay online.
For cases that are not in collections and where you are not pursuing a deferral, you can pay online through PayGov. The portal accepts credit and debit card payments and is available at any time of day. You need your cause number or UTT number to locate your case.
In-person payments at the Clerk's Office at One Courthouse Square, Jasper, IN 47546, are accepted during regular business hours. The office phone is (812) 481-7035 and the fax is (812) 481-7044. Cash, money orders, and credit or debit cards are accepted. Personal checks are not. For more on accepted payment methods, see the Dubois County how to pay page.
Note: If your case is in collections, do not use PayGov. Use PayCourt.com instead, or contact the Clerk's Office at (812) 481-7035 to confirm which portal applies to your case.
Dubois County Prosecutor's Deferral Program
The Dubois County Prosecutor offers a deferral program for eligible traffic citations. A deferral lets you avoid a conviction on your driving record by agreeing to certain conditions, typically staying violation-free for a set period. If you complete the deferral successfully, the original charge is dismissed.
CDL holders and drivers with certain prior violations are generally not eligible. The deferral carries its own fee, which is separate from the ticket fine. To find out if your citation qualifies, call the Prosecutor's Office or the Clerk's Office before making any payment. Once you pay through PayGov or in person, the ticket is typically treated as a completed case and the deferral option is no longer available to you.
If you have questions about the deferral process or want to understand your options before deciding, the Indiana Legal Help site has free information on traffic infractions and how to navigate deferral programs in Indiana counties.
Note: Always call (812) 481-7035 before paying if you have any interest in the deferral program. That one step can save you the conviction on your record.

Traffic Infractions Under Indiana Law in Dubois County
Traffic citations in Indiana are civil proceedings, not criminal charges. Under Indiana Code Title 34, infraction cases use civil procedure rules. No jail time attaches to a standard traffic infraction. The real consequences are fines, court costs, and BMV points that can affect your insurance rates or lead to a license suspension if they accumulate.
Indiana Code Title 9 sets the rules for motor vehicles and traffic violations statewide, including how fines are set, how violations are classified, and how the BMV records convictions. Minor violations in Dubois County typically go through the violations bureau, which allows you to pay without appearing in court. More serious violations or cases you want to contest require an appearance before the local judge.
After a case closes, the outcome is public record and searchable through MyCase. To see your official driving record as the state maintains it, visit the Indiana BMV website. The court record and the BMV record are separate, and both may matter depending on what you are trying to confirm or dispute.
