What is the penalty for driving on expired plates in Oakland county Michigan if if the total fine is not paid do you spend 38 days in jail what about payment arrangements?

Answer 1

The fine will vary by court; there are over a dozen District Courts in Oakland County, and I don't know which District you are in. 52nd District has 4 divisions, and the fines are not even the same in each of those divisions. Most of the courts' expired plate fines seem to be around $125 or $130, but if you were charged with a misdemeanor instead of an infraction it could more like $225. The fine should be written on your ticket; if it isn't, or if you've lost the ticket, you'll have to check with the court.

Some Oakland County District Courts list the fines on their website, but not all do. Click the related link below to see all the Oakland County Courts, and scroll down to the District Court that has your case. Click the name of the court that's underlined in blue to go to the court's website, and look there for links to traffic fines. If the court website doesn't have a list of fines, you'll have to call the court.

Many courts will allow you to set up a payment plan, but none of the Oakland County courts' websites mention that. Again, you'll have to call and ask. Court phone numbers are on the related link below, and they're also on the court websites.
