Deschutes County is now offering an online payment option for residents needing to pay citations and balances related to court cases.

Balances can be paid with a Master Card or Visa and can be accessed through www.courts.oregon .gov/Deschutes. The ePay website can also be accessed at www .courts.oregon.gov. A $3.50 transaction fee will be added.

Deschutes County is one of seven courts selected by the Oregon Judicial Department to offer an ePay option. Before, those needing to pay balances would have to mail a check or pay in person at the courthouse.
