The South County courthouse at 500 Third Avenue serves Chula Vista and the South Bay under court code 37485. Drop-off is easy here — there are two express boxes, one on the first floor by the Information Booth and another on the second floor across from the Attorney Window, both open 8:00am–5:00pm. The court also holds Night Court on the last Thursday of most months (November and December are the exceptions) for drivers who need an evening slot.
About two weeks before your court date, Chula Vista mails a courtesy notice that spells out whether traffic school is available to you — hold off signing up until you've seen it. Check your case anytime through the Pay Your Ticket portal, or call the courthouse to ask directly.
You can request traffic school and pay your bail plus South County's $52 fee online, by mail, at either express drop box, or by phone between 8:30 and 11:30am — doing so locks in a one-time 90-day continuance from the court. That $52 goes to San Diego Superior Court and is separate from your course fee once you pass. Verify the current amount with the court before you pay.
Hit "Start Free" above to start your lessons right away — nothing due upfront. Provide your school with the South County court code 37485, your date of birth, driver license number, and citation number so your record connects to the right case. Courses run in English or Spanish, you can retry unlimited times, and payment is only due after you pass.
As soon as you complete the course, we file your completion with the court electronically — Chula Vista doesn't ask California-licensed drivers to mail anything in. Finish early enough before the 90-day mark that the update has time to post to your case.
Since your completion is reported to the court electronically, a DMV visit isn't necessary just to close this ticket out. Need DMV services for something else? The DMV location finder will get you to the right office. Whatever courthouse appears on your citation is the one handling your case, so check it first.
Take care of your Chula Vista ticket now — start free, retry as often as you need, and pay only once you pass. No hidden fees.
