Germantown Camera Tickets

Montgomery County runs speed cameras and red light cameras across the county, including in Germantown. These are civil citations. They do not add points. They will not show up on Case Search. The county handles camera tickets, not the District Court.

MDOR lets you plead guilty with an explanation, request a payment plan, or ask for a trial date online. It works only for payable traffic citations. Must-appear violations and camera tickets are not eligible for MDOR.

To use MDOR, enter your citation number on the website. The system walks you through your options. This saves a trip to the Rockville or Silver Spring courthouse. The program is free to use. You still pay the fine if you plead guilty, but you skip the court visit. MDOR actions show up in Case Search just like in-person resolutions for Germantown traffic ticket records.

The 30-day rule is strict. You must respond within 30 days of the citation date. Pay, request a trial, or ask for a waiver hearing. If you do nothing, the court tells the MVA. The MVA can suspend your license under § 16-303. Must-appear violations like DUI under § 21-902 cannot be paid online. You have to go to court. If total fines reach $150 or more, use Form DCA-131 for a payment plan with 10 monthly installments.
