All fines are due and payable on the day of sentencing. The Reno Municipal Court may grant payment extension requests on fines.  You may file a motion to talk to a judge about an extension. If payment extensions are granted, failure to comply with arrangements may result in the assessment of a $100 collection fee, referral to a collection agency and issuance of a warrant for your arrest with accompanying criminal and civil penalties, including forfeiture of property, wage garnishment, and negative credit reporting.

Refunds of fine over payments of $10 or less will not be made unless a written request is made to the Reno Municipal Court by the Defendant within one (1) year of over payment.  Over payments exceeding $10 will be processed and sent to the last known address of the person who posted the money as show in court records.  In the event the over payment cannot be returned, it will be treated and disposed of consistent with Chapter 120A of the Nevada Revised Statute.
