Restitution, Fine and Fee Payments
While on Probation, the terms of payment for court ordered fines and fees may be worked out with your Probation Officer, based on financial ability and other circumstances related to your case. Willful failure to make a required payment may result in a violation of your probation grant.

Victim Restitution
When a defendant is placed on probation with a condition that they make a monthly payment to the victim of a crime, the Probation Accounting Department will set up an account for the victim in conjunction with the Probation Officer. Probation Accounting will make monthly collections and disburse the funds to victims of crime who have been identified by the Court. The administrative cost of this collection is the responsibility of the probationer; the victim pays nothing for this service.
If the probationer does not follow through with this obligation, then he or she will be considered to be in violation of the conditions of the probation grant and may be taken back to Court for further court proceedings.
Victim Information
Victims should be aware that the Penal Code is very specific that probation shall not be revoked for failure of a person to make restitution unless the Court determines that the defendant has willfully failed to pay and has the ability to pay.
