The Municipal Court function is composed of the Court Administration Department, Judicial Department, the City Attorney's Criminal Justice Division and the Public Defender's Office. The Court Administration Department oversees the administrative services of the Municipal Court function. The Judicial Department presides over the municipal courts. The City Attorney's Criminal Justice Division is responsible for the prosecution of violations of municipal ordinances and regulations.

The Municipal Court handles a wide variety of offense violations, but not all tickets that are written in the city of Aurora are written into the Aurora Municipal Court. For more information on the types of tickets/charges handled at the Aurora Municipal Court, please visit the Tickets & Summons section.
