Chambers Communication Rules
If disputing an amount owed after a case is referred to the AGO, email the court with supporting documentation.
8/6/25: The Ashtabula Municipal Court has recently sent outstanding fines/court costs to the Attorney General’s Office (“AGO”) to begin collections. If you receive a letter from the Attorney General’s office regarding money you owe to this court, this is a legitimate process that was initiated. Once your case(s) go to their office, the court is unable to collect any payments, and you must pay directly to the AGO. If you are disputing the amount you owe, please submit an email along with any documentation (example: receipts) to: courtcollections@ashtabulamunicipalcourt.com
