Once Court Ordered Restitution becomes delinquent due to non-payment, it is referred to the City Treasurer’s Office for collection, disbursement, and reporting.

​​​​Paying Restitution

Once a referral has been received by the City Treasurer's Office, the Treasurer's Office will mail a letter to the address provided by the Court. Please note that all restitution payments will be applied to your account prior to court costs and fines. Restitution payments are due on the 15th of each month. Late fees are assessed for payments not made by the close of business on the 15th of the month. Late fees shall not exceed $30 total at any one time.

Receiving Restitution

If it has been determined by the General District Court, Circuit Court, or Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court that you are to receive restitution payments, please know that our office will use the full extent of our powers to obtain full restitution on your behalf. There are various steps taken collect:

• Quarterly statements are mailed to the defendant showing the amount that is due. If a payment is received, you will receive the amount applied to the installment. Checks are mailed twice per month.
• If a defendant has not made a payment for 90 days, the Commonwealth's Attorney will be notified.
• Once the Commonwealth’s Attorney has been notified, delinquent collections will commence which can include but are not limited to liens on wages, bank accounts, personal property, and/or state monies eligible through tax refunds or lottery winnings.

If your bill is covered by bankruptcy, please email us at VBBK4you@vbgov.com with your bankruptcy case number so it can be notated on your account.
