At the End of Probation Term or Release from the Department of Corrections

1. A Criminal Restitution Order (CRO) being entered into your case record
   • A CRO is recorded with the Pinal County Treasurer. This judgement acts as a lien on your credit and will come up as an outstanding obligation when you attempt to make purchases or obtain services that require a credit check. Per A.R.S. § 13-805 At the time the defendant completes the defendant’s period of probation or the defendant’s sentence or the defendant’s absconds from probation or the defendant’s sentence, the court shall enter both: a Criminal Restitution Order in favor of the state for the unpaid balance of any  fines, costs, incarceration costs, fees surcharges or assessments imposed and a Criminal Restitution Order in favor of each person entitled to restitution for any unpaid balance of restitution ordered. A Criminal Restitution Order never expires, it can only be satisfied upon receiving payment in full for any outstanding balance.
2. Addition of interest to your balance owed
   • Interest will be ordered on the Criminal Restitution Order entered into your case record. The amount of interest varies from case to case based upon your payment history. The maximum allowable interest is 10% per year pursuant to A.R.S. § 44-1201.
