Frequently asked questions:
How do I respond to a traffic or non-traffic citation?When you receive either a traffic or non-traffic citation you have 10 days to respond. Failure to respond may result in an arrest warrant being issued. In addition, PennDOT may suspend your driver’s license. The District Judge for Chalfont Borough is located at District Court, 962 Town Center, New Britain, PA 18901 (Magisterial District No. 07-2-08). A response to the citation can either be submitted in-person at the courthouse, or by mail.
Parking tickets are issued under the authority of either Borough Ordinances, or the PA Motor Vehicle Code for parking restrictions. If you fail to respond to a parking ticket, the issuing Officer may withdraw the ticket and file a traffic citation, which may cost you significantly more than the initial ticket. Parking ticket payments may be mailed or dropped off in-person at the Chalfont Borough Administration Building, 40 N. Main Street, Chalfont, PA 18914.
