Got an old municipal warrant? OKC’s penalty reduction program can help

Published on January 07, 2026

People with an outstanding warrant with the Oklahoma City Municipal Court can start the year off with a clean slate by paying for it at a reduced cost.

Anyone with a warrant for an unpaid municipal ticket for a class “a” offense issued on or before Dec. 31, 2022, is eligible for the program. The amount owed on an eligible citation will be reduced to lower than the original amount of the ticket as if it were paid on time.

For example, resolving an overdue speeding ticket in warrant status could cost up to $613- $420 for fines, costs and fees, plus $193 for failure to appear charge. However, it can be resolved for $155 through the penalty reduction program.

"This initiative is a great opportunity for anyone looking to clear municipal tickets and start the new year on a positive note," Court Administrator Mankinta Holloway said. "If you voluntarily come in to resolve any warrant issued by Oklahoma City Municipal Court, you will not face jail time."

As with any case in Oklahoma City Municipal Court, people with financial difficulties can request a hearing for a judge to determine their ability to pay. Judges can waive or reduce fines, costs and fees for people who can't afford them.

Call (405) 297-3898 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, except holidays) or visit the Municipal Court Customer Service Window, 701 Couch Dr., from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day but holidays to pay the ticket or request a hearing about financial difficulties. You can also visit okc.gov/court for an online payment link and other details.
