COURT FINES & FEES

In Davidson County, Tennessee, between 2009-2023, $323,949,339.30 has been assessed against Tennesseans for court fines and fees.

Many of these fees are unaffordable for Tennesseans and lead to immense financial hardship as well as license suspensions, extended community service, and sometimes incarceration.
