The Town of Upper Marlboro Police Department issues Town and State citations. The County Police and Parking Authority also issue citations, which are separate from the Town of Upper Marlboro. To pay a County citation online or via mail or telephone, visit the County Web site. State citations must be paid directly to the State, whether they were issues by Town, County or State police.

The fine for Town citations double if payment has not been postmarked or paid  within 15 days of issuance. The total fine will double again in another 15 days. After that, the vehicle on the citation may be “flagged” with the Maryland Vehicle Administration (MVA).

When a vehicle is flagged, it means that the title cannot be renewed until the total fine has been paid. The Town charges a $10 flagging fee, in addition to the MVA’s $30 flagging fee (which must be paid separately and directly to the MVA). The MVA will not accept payments for a Town flagging fee or citation fine.

The Town accepts credit card payments over the phone or in person at the Town Hall, 14211 School Lane, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 from Monday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. The Town also accepts in-person payments with check, money order or cash. Citations can be paid via mail with a check or money order. The Town accepts the postmark date as the payment date for mailed payments. There is a $25.00 returned check fee if the bank does not accept your check for any reason. Credit card payments are charged a 3.5% processing fee of the total amount due at time of payment.
