Imposed

If the hearing officer finds that the City followed all laws and rules, the fee or fine may be imposed. This means you must pay it.

Due date

• Citation payments are usually due within 30 days of the hearing. The administrative hearing officer will tell you if you have a different due date.
• Assessment payments are due by the end of the levy year. 

Reduced

The administrative hearing officer can impose a reduced amount.

Stayed

The administrative hearing officer may impose a fee or fine but stay some or all of the amount.

• This means that under certain conditions, you would not need to pay some or all of the fee or fine.
• Note that you must meet all conditions of the stay, or you have to pay the stayed amount.
• For example, the hearing officer could impose a $250 citation, but stay $150 on the condition the work is completed within 30 days of the hearing. If you complete the work within 30 days of the hearing, you would only owe $100.

Dismissed

The administrative hearing officer may dismiss the issue. This means that the City failed to meet the burden of proof, and you do not need to make a payment.
