Yes, if you are able to get a prayer for judgment in North Carolina than while fines may not be assessed you do still have to pay for court costs.

A Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC) is a finding of guilt without entry of a judgment for a criminal or traffic offense in the state of North Carolina. A PJC is usually obtained after a plea of guilty in court but sometimes a judge can enter a PJC after a not guilty plea.

For automobile insurance purposes, one can have up to one PJC per household every 3 years that will not allow insurance premiums to be raised. For Driver's License purposes, a driver can have up to two PJCs within a 5 year period which will not result in driver's license points.

When one uses a PJC in North Carolina the courts will not asses a fine, although court costs will have to be paid so if the judge granted you a PJC in court and they told you there were court costs of $146 than this amount needs to be paid.
