Probation Financial Declaration
The Financial Declaration Form is used by The Public Defender Fee Reimbursement Program. When a Public Defender is appointed in Court, the Judge orders the Defendant to report to the County Officer at the financial evaluation booth to evaluate the Defendant's ability to pay. The Financial Declaration form is then used to determine a Defendant's ability to pay for the use of the Public Defender.
