Payments
Payments the court will accept:

If you wish to make a payment by check, money order or personal check from an in-state bank, the check should be made payable to Justice Court and the payment sent to the court at 228 Broadway, Helena, Montana, 59601.

Payments the court will not accept:

Personal checks for payment of fines or restitution when the underlying offense was that of issuing a bad check.
The court will only send a receipt for a payment if you enclose with your payment a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
