Complaints & Offenses

Private citizens can pursue their own complaints. A police complaint is pursued by the Municipal Prosecutor. The Violations Bureau is where fines are paid in person or through the mail. If the charge(s) on your summons and complaint can be taken care of without a Court appearance, the summons should be marked with the amount of the fine listed.

Please note: credit or debit cards will not be accepted.

These are mostly traffic offenses. Certain traffic offenses are not payable and the defendant must appear in Court. If you pay by mail, you must sign the front of the ticket indicating you are pleading guilty to the charge(s). Please make checks payable to the Manasquan Municipal Court.

Manasquan Municipal Court proceedings are governed by municipal ordinances, court rules and State statutes. Court employees are not allowed to give legal advice, but will be happy to answer procedural questions.
