Electronic Mitigation (E-mitigation)

To be eligible for Electronic Mitigation, you must have already received a hearing date from Spokane County District Court. Please do not proceed unless you have a valid hearing date and today's date is at least 7 business days from the hearing date.

Mitigation defined: You admit to committing the violation(s) but would like to be considered for a reduction in fines. During this process you may comment on your side of the story. You understand that this ticket can appear on your driving record if "TRAFFIC" is checked on the front. Parking tickets are civil infractions which do not appear on your driving record.

Those violations requiring submission of documents (i.e. proof of insurance, proof of disabled placard/id card,...) MAY NOT be addressed through the electronic mitigation process. Additionally, requests for "deferred prosecution" WILL NOT be addressed through this process.

The following have been identified as being not eligible for mitigation because either the penalty cannot be reduced or proof must be shown.

Can not reduce:

  • Speeding in School Zone/Playground
  • Speeding in Construction Zone
  • Liability Insurance
  • No Valid Operator's License 2nd degree
  • Handicap Parking Violations

Note: Fill out and submit a separate mitigation form for each citation.

You must have a hearing date notice from Spokane County District Court before using this form.
