Community Service
The court may grant you the option to complete community service in lieu of paying a fine. You can complete your community service through a non profit organization depending upon specific sentencing instructions from a judge. You need to contact the Criminal Department to sign up for community service.
If you live outside of Washoe County, you must sign up in the court of Reno to obtain the proper paper work and then take your paper work to any non-profit organization where you reside. The organization must contact the court within 10 days of your enrollment that you are signed up for community service. The organization must also notify the court in writing of either your completion or failure to complete the community service. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE COURT IS IN RECEIPT OF ANY OR ALL COMPLETIONS.
