Search Montgomery Traffic Citations
Montgomery County's local Traffic Fines page directs users to mycase.IN.gov to find the amount owed, or to contact the Clerk at 765-364-6430. The traffic page says a person can search by case number, Citation Number or UTT, name, or another identifier. Once the correct case is open, the user scrolls to the Financial Summary and uses the Make a payment button if that button appears.
Online traffic lookup is best for public case details and payment eligibility. It is not the same as a state driver record, and it is not a guarantee that every payment option is available online. If the payment button does not appear, the research file points users back to the Clerk or to in-person payment at Room 102 in the courthouse.
- Open mycase.IN.gov and search the citation or case.
- Use the UTT citation number when available, because it is the most direct ticket identifier.
- If the citation number is not known, search by name or another identifier and narrow by court, status, case type, or date.
- Open the matching case and review the charge, hearing date, disposition, and Financial Summary.
- If Make a payment appears, use the online payment option. If it does not appear, call the Clerk or pay in person.
- To contest an infraction, appear at the hearing date instead of paying before that date.

That local page is the most specific source for how Montgomery County routes citation lookup, payment, and contested infraction hearings.
Montgomery Citation Search Fields
Traffic searches use the same statewide MyCase platform as other public court records, but the local traffic page names traffic-specific identifiers. A citation number or UTT is often the fastest choice because it ties directly to the ticket. A name search can work, but it may return multiple people or other case types.
| Search Field | Type | Required | Notes / Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Case Number | Text | No | Search MyCase by the court case number if the cause number is known. |
| Citation Number (UTT) | Text | No | Named on the local page and usually fastest for a ticket search. |
| Name | Text | No | MyCase person searches require last name plus first name, middle name, or date of birth. |
| Another Identifier | Text | No | The local traffic page uses this phrase; it may function as another MyCase identifier or cross-reference. |
| Financial Summary | Case section | N/A | Scroll to the bottom of the case to review fines, costs, credits, and balances shown online. |
| Make a payment | Button | Conditional | Appears only when online payment is available and the ticket is in the system. |
The MyCase short URL routes traffic users into the same public case system used for other Montgomery County court records.
Using the citation number first reduces the risk of matching the wrong person or opening a non-traffic case.
Montgomery Traffic Case Courts
Superior Court II expressly handles traffic and ordinance violations in Montgomery County. It is located in Room 303 at the Montgomery County Courthouse, 100 E Main St., Crawfordsville, IN 47933, and the court phone is 765-364-6455. The Clerk of the Circuit Court in Room 102 handles traffic fine payment routing and court record-keeping, with phone 765-364-6430.
The research did not locate a current separate Crawfordsville city or town court page for public traffic-record routing. That makes the statewide MyCase portal, Superior Court II, and the Clerk's Traffic Fines division the documented access chain for Montgomery County traffic court records.
| Court / Office | Traffic Role | Address / Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Montgomery Superior Court II | Handles traffic and ordinance violations along with other listed case types. | Room 303, 100 E Main St., 765-364-6455 |
| Clerk of the Circuit Court | Handles traffic fine routing, court payments, copies, and public-record requests. | Room 102, 100 E Main St., 765-364-6430 |
| Indiana MyCase | Searches public traffic cases, citation numbers, financial summaries, and online payment availability. | public.courts.in.gov/mycase |
| Indiana BMV | Maintains driver records, points, suspensions, and official certified driver records. | BMV driver record page |
Montgomery Traffic Record Fields
A Montgomery County traffic court record can show both case data and payment data. The traffic case may list a citation or UTT number, case number, charge, statute, hearing date, disposition, fine, court costs, and financial summary. The exact display depends on the case, the court entry, and whether online payment is available.
A citation record is still a court record. It does not replace the Indiana BMV driver record, and it does not prove how many active points are on a license. MyCase can help find the court result. BMV records are needed for driver status, certified driver history, and points.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Citation Number / UTT | The ticket identifier used to locate the traffic case. |
| Case Number | The court cause number assigned after the citation enters the court system. |
| Charge / Statute | The violation description and legal authority where shown. |
| Court Date | The hearing date for contesting the ticket or appearing when required. |
| Disposition | The outcome, such as paid, dismissed, found, convicted, or another court result where public. |
| Fine Amount | The local fine or case-specific amount shown in the financial section. |
| Court Costs | Costs added to the fine when shown by the court record. |
| Financial Summary | Balance, credits, payments, and the Make a payment button when available. |
Montgomery Traffic Fine Schedule
The local Traffic Fines page gives Montgomery County fine examples. The amounts are not a full statewide fee manual and do not replace the case-specific amount in MyCase. The page also notes that overweight violations are 6 cents per pound plus costs and instructs users to call the Clerk for costs.
| Violation | Listed Amount / Consequence |
|---|---|
| Speeding | $175 |
| Failure to yield to emergency vehicles | $340 |
| All other moving violations | $175 |
| Equipment and license violations | $175 |
| Driving while suspended | $240 plus 90-day license suspension noted |
| No insurance / no financial responsibility | $240 plus 90-day license suspension noted |
| FMCSR violations | $200 |
| Dyed fuel violations | $504 |
| Fuel tax permit | $225 |
| No seatbelt age 8-15 or adult | $25 |
| Child restraint age 4-7 | $25 |
| Child restraint under 4, first offense with proof within 30 days | $0 |
| Child restraint under 4, first offense no proof | $145 |
| Child restraint under 4, subsequent violations | $175 |
The local page notes that, effective July 1, 2023, Minor in Possession of Tobacco requires court, and any person in possession of paraphernalia requires court. Pay attention to that court requirement before assuming a ticket can be closed online.
Pay or Contest Traffic Tickets
If a Montgomery County ticket is an infraction and the person does not wish to contest it, the local traffic page says the fine may be paid before the hearing date and the person will not have to appear. If the person wants to contest the ticket, the local page says to do so at the set court hearing date.
Payment starts in MyCase. Open the traffic case, review the Financial Summary, and use Make a payment only if it appears. If no payment button appears, call the Clerk at 765-364-6430 or pay in person at Room 102. For certified copies or current balances, use the Clerk rather than relying only on the online screen.
- Search by citation number, case number, name, or another identifier in MyCase.
- Open the correct traffic case and confirm the court, charge, hearing date, and financial summary.
- Pay online only if Make a payment appears for that case.
- Call the Clerk or go to Room 102 if online payment is not available.
- Do not pay before the hearing if the intent is to contest the infraction.
- Use the BMV, not the Clerk, for driver-record points, suspensions, or certified driver history.
Note: Paying an infraction before the hearing may close the court dispute but can still affect BMV records.
Court Records vs BMV Records
The court file and the driver record answer different questions. A Montgomery County traffic court record shows what happened in the court case: citation, charge, hearing date, disposition, fine, costs, and court payment status. A BMV driver record shows driving history, current and resolved suspensions, citations, violations, and entries that affect the driving record.
The Indiana BMV driver record page distinguishes a free Viewable Driver Record from an Official Driver Record. The Official Driver Record is a certified copy with a BMV certification letter and costs $4.
That BMV source is the correct channel when the goal is a certified driver history rather than a traffic case document from the Clerk.
| Record Type | Source | What It Shows | How to Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Court Traffic Record | MyCase and Montgomery County Clerk | Citation, case number, court date, charge, disposition, fine, costs, and payment status. | Search MyCase, call 765-364-6430, use the public-record form, or visit Room 102. |
| State Driver Record | Indiana BMV | Driving history, suspensions, citations, violations, points impact, and official certification when ordered. | Use myBMV and the BMV driver-record process; Official Driver Record is $4. |
Traffic Points and Statutes
Indiana traffic and motor vehicle law is organized under Indiana Code Title 9. Montgomery County court records may cite traffic statutes or charge descriptions, but point impact is handled through BMV records. The BMV points page says moving-violation point values range from 0 to 10 and stay active for two years from the conviction date.
That points page should be checked after a traffic disposition when the court record alone does not answer license-status questions.
The Indiana traffic and motor vehicle law source is broader than the local fine page because it includes statutory traffic and licensing rules.
Use the statute source for legal authority and the local Montgomery page for the county's payment routing and listed fine examples.
Traffic Record Limits
The research did not locate official Montgomery County pages for CDL-specific rules, traffic deferral eligibility, rescheduling procedures, remote appearances, school-zone camera enforcement, or juvenile traffic confidentiality. Those topics should be confirmed with the Clerk, the court, the Prosecutor if a diversion or deferral issue is involved, or the BMV when license status is the question.
DUI and DWI matters should not be treated as routine traffic tickets. They usually route into criminal court records and charge records rather than a simple infraction payment path. For filed charge detail, use Montgomery County arrest records and court charges. For the full criminal case file, use Montgomery County criminal court records.
Traffic sealing or expungement questions depend on the kind of record. Indiana expungement is governed by IC 35-38-9 for eligible arrest, charge, and conviction records. A person generally files in the court or county connected to the arrest, charge, or conviction, using the official forms and serving required parties. If the case is only a traffic infraction, confirm eligibility and procedure before filing.
