Where does the money go that is collected from fines, court costs, etc. paid to the court?
All money collected from fines and court costs is deposited with the City treasurer’s office and credited to the City’s general fund. State mandated fees of $19 are sent to C.L.E.E.T. and O.S.B.I. The $35 bond fee is added to the initial filing of any bond, of which $25 goes to the jail entity (Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office).
