The Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa Tribal Court announced Feb. 13 its annual waiver program for individuals to comply with court orders by settling their debts without further penalty or incarceration.

Specifically, the program addresses outstanding warrants for non-compliance with a court order of fines, fees, court costs and any outstanding civil tickets that have gone into default. The waiver program will be effective March 1 through March 31, 2026.

“This is an opportunity for people to settle past due fines with the court without further penalty and at a reduced amount,” said Court Administrator Traci Swan. "Eligible applicants will be given partial fee waivers and have the ability to set up payment plans to resolve matters without the worry of additional penalties or incarceration. If our people have a warrant out prohibiting them from obtaining a job or housing, this program will allow the court to lift the warrant, they just need to make contact the court.”

Individuals seeking to make payment can use our online payment system www.citepayusa.com, mail in a check or money order for a contact-free experience or come in person and speak with a clerk during business hours. The court will also accept credit card payments in person. Individuals must contact the court in advance of making any payment to allow for removal of their bench warrant and the reduction in their fines.

If an individual is unable to pay in full, but makes a significant payment, the court will work with each individual’s situation and to set-up a new payment plan regarding any outstanding balance.

Please contact the Tribal Court, at 906‑635‑4963 for further information.
