Search Preset Fines and Points
Search the District Court schedule by offense wording or citation code. Results show the preset fine and points printed in the schedule effective October 1, 2025.
Preset fines include the schedule’s $7.50 Special Funds surcharge. “Must appear” means the charge cannot be prepaid and requires a trial appearance.
Source: District Court of Maryland, DC-CR-090 (Rev. 10/2025), effective October 1, 2025. This lookup reports schedule entries and is not a prediction of a court result.
What This Traffic Ticket Tool Shows
The results come from the District Court of Maryland schedule effective October 1, 2025. Each matching entry can show:
- The offense description and printed citation code
- The potential points listed in the schedule
- The preset fine, including the schedule's $7.50 Special Funds surcharge
- A different fine or point value when the violation contributed to an accident
- "Must appear" status when the charge cannot be prepaid
- A reference to another fine provision when the schedule does not state one fixed dollar amount
Points are mandated by statute and are not established by the court. For a broader explanation of point totals, read our Maryland driver's license point system guide.
How to Search Your Maryland Traffic Offense
Enter words from the charge, such as "speeding," "suspended license," or "failure to stop." You can also enter a code printed on the citation, such as "21-202." The tool searches every entry in the schedule and displays the closest matches first.
If the citation says the violation contributed to an accident, turn on the accident option before relying on the displayed points or fine. The schedule has separate accident columns for many offenses.
Preset Fine Versus Must Appear
A dollar amount is the preset amount that may be prepaid for the listed violation. The schedule marks some offenses "MA." Those charges require the person to stand trial and do not provide a prepaid fine amount.
This lookup reports the schedule entry. It does not predict what a court will do in a contested case or account for charges outside the schedule. If you want help reviewing the citation before deciding whether to prepay or request a trial, speak with a Maryland traffic lawyer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the accident option apply whenever an accident happened?
Use it when the alleged violation contributed to an accident. That is how the alternate columns are labeled in the District Court schedule.
Does "must appear" mean there is no penalty?
No. It means the schedule does not allow prepayment and requires a trial appearance. The lookup displays "Must appear" instead of inventing a fine amount.
Are the displayed fines guaranteed court outcomes?
No. They are preset citation fines from the District Court schedule. The tool is a schedule lookup, not a prediction of a court result.
Why does a result say to see another section?
Some schedule entries refer to another fine provision instead of listing one fixed amount. The tool preserves that reference as printed.
