As part of the MLK Day of Service, the city of East Point launched its Ticket Amnesty Program in January. This is an opportunity for residents to resolve unpaid fines and fees with little to no penalties. The program runs through Thursday, March 6 at the East Point Municipal Court, 2727 East Point Street.

Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. (Window operation will stay open until 6 p.m. to take amnesty walk-ins).

Saturdays 8 a.m.- noon

Fees stemming from Failures to Appear in Court will be waived.

During this period, residents can also apply to request restriction of an arrest record for non-violent crimes committed in East Point. The $25 application fee to request restriction on February 29 will be waived.
