A speed camera ticket from Monroeville, Ohio carries a fine of $110 to $200, and you have 45 days from the mailing date on the Notice of Liability to either pay it or request a hearing. The citation is civil, not criminal, so it adds no points to your license and does not appear on your Ohio driving record.1American Legal Publishing. Codified Ordinances of Monroeville OH – 315.05 Civil Penalties
How Much the Ticket Costs
The fine depends on how far over the posted limit the camera recorded you traveling. Enforcement starts at 10 mph over; anything less should not generate a citation.1American Legal Publishing. Codified Ordinances of Monroeville OH – 315.05 Civil Penalties
- 10–15 mph over: $110
- 16–20 mph over: $140
- 21–25 mph over: $170
- 26 mph or more over: $200
- Failure to obey a traffic control device: $110

Mistakes are uncommon but worth ruling out before you pay.
Paying the Fine
You have 45 days from the date the notice was mailed to pay. Paying resolves the ticket but gives up your right to contest it.2Village of Monroeville. Traffic Cameras: Notice of Liability
Two options:
- Online with a credit or debit card through the portal listed on the notice (ViewCitation.com).
- By check or money order payable to the Village of Monroeville, sent to the Citations Processing Center at P.O. Box 56045, Boston, MA 02205-6045. Write your Citation Number on the payment.
Keep the confirmation number or receipt. It is your only proof if a question comes up later.
Contesting the Citation
If you want to fight the ticket, mail a written request for a hearing within the same 45-day window to the Monroeville Police Department, P.O. Box 85, Monroeville, OH 44847.2Village of Monroeville. Traffic Cameras: Notice of Liability Under Ohio’s statewide traffic camera law (HB 62), appeals of camera-based citations are heard in court rather than resolved by an administrative hearing officer alone, so expect to present your case in a courtroom.
If Someone Else Was Driving
The notice goes to the registered owner, so you can receive one for a trip you did not take. Submit an Affidavit of Defense within 45 days identifying the actual driver, and include supporting documents such as a police report if you have one. Mail it to the same police department address.2Village of Monroeville. Traffic Cameras: Notice of Liability
What Happens If You Ignore It
Doing nothing is the worst outcome. If you neither pay nor request a hearing within 45 days, the village files a civil complaint against the registered owner.2Village of Monroeville. Traffic Cameras: Notice of Liability That moves the matter into court, where a judgment can be entered against you and the cost of resolving it climbs well above the original fine.
Does It Affect Your License or Insurance?
No, in the ordinary case. Chapter 315 states that a speed camera violation cannot be recorded on the driving record of the owner or operator, cannot be reported to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and carries no points under Ohio’s point assessment system.1American Legal Publishing. Codified Ordinances of Monroeville OH – 315.05 Civil Penalties The BMV only tracks moving violation convictions, accident reports, and actions leading to suspensions or revocations, so the citation does not appear on the Motor Vehicle Record an insurer pulls.3Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Because insurers set rates from what shows up on your record, a paid Monroeville camera ticket generally does not raise your premium. The clean outcome depends on paying or resolving the ticket inside the 45-day window; a civil judgment entered against you for non-payment can land in public records and complicate things.
