From McHenry County Circuit Clerk Kathy Keefe:

Pay off your overdue court fines without penalty during Amnesty Week November 8-15

Amnesty Week is fast approaching for people who would like to be able to settle their overdue McHenry County court fees without penalties or interest.

Between Nov. 8 and Nov. 15 (county offices are closed on Nov. 11 for Veterans Day), people can settle their court debts by paying the original amount due before their cases were turned over to collections.

Anyone with a balance due on a

  • criminal
  • traffic
  • DUI
  • ordinance or
  • conservation violation

will be able to pay it off, with no late fees and collection interest that may have accumulated.

The amnesty does not apply to any fines and costs which have already been paid, or any tax refunds which have been applied against what is owed.

People may ask for a quote for the amount due in their cases, minus fees and interest, by emailing CircuitClerk@mchenrycountyil.gov, or by calling 815-334-4190.

Payments can be made online at www.mchenrycircuitclerk.org, in person at the Circuit Clerk’s Office between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., by phone, or by mail to the office at 2200 N. Seminary Ave., Woodstock, IL 60098. Payments can be made by cash, personal check, credit or debit card.
