The Municipal Court is one of limited jurisdiction, hearing only misdemeanor criminal cases, and traffic cases carrying a maximum fine and sentence of five hundred dollars or thirty days in jail, plue certain other cases as authorized by the Legislature.

This Court has no civil-jurisdiction; no lawsuits or non-criminal matters are heard.  Appeals for decisions received from this Court are accepted in Circuit Court.

This court strives to give everyone a fair hearing. We have improved our technology and increased access to the court.  Our community can be proud of the friendly and helpful staff of clerks and ministerial recorders at their service.
