The Municipal Court has jurisdiction over Class C misdemeanors issued by City police officers, fire marshal, code enforcement officers and animal control officers. The Court Clerk's office is responsible for processing the clerical work of the court, setting trial dockets, collecting court fines and fees, maintaining court records, and performing administrative duties delegated by the Judge.

The court is staffed with two deputy clerks, municipal court supervisor, a warrant collection clerk, and two city marshals. Clerks are not licensed attorneys and cannot provide legal advice.

Please allow 2 working days for processing and filing before contacting the court regarding a citation.

Visa and MasterCard can be accepted for the payment of Municipal Court fines.
