OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (Oct. 22, 2024) – Oak Ridge City Court Fees and Bond Forfeitures will increase November 1.

Oak Ridge City Court will increase its Court Clerk Fee to $113.75. The $27 increase will help offset the recent purchase of new software set to be installed this year.

Most bond forfeitures will increase by $15. State violations like the Tennessee Hands Free, Seatbelt, and Child Restraint violations remain the same.

“This court clerk fee increase is the first one we’ve had since 2020 and is still lower than most in the surrounding area,” Court Clerk Robin Nettles said. “This increase will help cover some of the software costs and any other improvements we may need in the coming years.”
