About Our Court

Rather than the 16th Circuit Court, the County Municipal Court considers all tickets for general County Ordinance violations posted June 1, 2008, or later. Municipal Court dockets are held on the first, second, third and fifth Wednesday of the month at the Eastern Jackson County Courthouse in the Jury Room (Room 157) on the 1st floor:
Eastern Jackson County Courthouse
308 W. Kansas Avenue
Independence, Missouri 64050
Violation Examples
Examples of general County Ordinance violations include food inspections, animal control, code enforcement, park citations issued by the respective enforcement department personnel, as well as traffic or other ordinance violations issued by the County Sheriff’s Department.
