Paying Fines and Fees

If your violation has a specified fine amount, you can choose to pay fines and fees prior to your court date by pleading no contest or guilty. If any violation charged on your traffic ticket specifies “Court,” you must appear in court for arraignment on your Notice to Appear date.

 Mailing in Your Payment:

On the back of your traffic ticket, circle your plea of guilty or no contest in the paragraph under Appearance, Plea of Guilty and Waiver. Make sure to sign and date the ticket. The citation/ticket must accompany your payment.

You may send a money order made payable to the City of Edgerton for the total due for fines plus court costs to:

You may also leave payment in the 24-hour drop box located in front of City Hall.

Requesting a Continuance

If you cannot appear in court on the date listed on your citation, you must call 913.893.6231 or email the Court Clerk by the close of business on the Friday before your scheduled court date to request a continuance.

Continuances are not guaranteed.  If you fail to appear for your scheduled court date and have not been granted a continuance, a warrant may be issued for your arrest.

Arraignment

At arraignment, you will appear in court and enter a plea for your charged violations. You can enter a plea of:

  • Guilty – You admit to having committed the act charged. The judge will order a fine, jail time or other sentence.
  • No Contest – You do not contest the city's charge. The judge will enter a verdict of guilty and order a fine, jail time or other sentence. A plea of no contest is not an admission of fault and cannot be used against you in a civil proceeding.
  • Not Guilty – You deny guilt, which means the city must prove our charge. Your case will be set for trial or a pre-trial conference with the city prosecutor to see what options are available to you.

Right to an Attorney

You have the right to be represented by an attorney in all cases at Edgerton Municipal Court. If you are charged with an offense that may result in jail time, you must decide whether to proceed with or without an attorney. If you would like an attorney but cannot afford one, the court will appoint an attorney to represent you.

We cannot advise or represent private citizens or entities. If you are seeking personal legal advice, please contact a private attorney. You can use the following resources to find an attorney:
