Criminal Tickets
The Municipal Court is a court of record that hears misdemeanor offenses of alleged city ordinance violations. A criminal ticket is a legal notice to the violator that they have been accused of violating a criminal law. Violators are required to sign criminal tickets at the time they are issued. Signing a ticket acknowledges receipt and the duty to appear in court and does not serve as an admission of guilt or agreement with the charge.
Traffic Tickets

A ticket is a legal notice to the violator that they have been accused of violating a traffic law. Some violators are required to sign traffic tickets at the time they are issued.

Some traffic violations carry criminal penalties, which will be handled in accordance with the criminal court process. These charges include, but are not limited to, no proof of insurance, speed contest, reckless driving, careless driving, and speeding 25 mph or more.

Parking Tickets
Parking tickets are issued for violating city of Lakewood parking ordinances and do not carry penalty points on your driver’s license. The tickets, which are placed on the windshield of a vehicle, will cite the specific offense(s) violated, identify the amount(s) that must be paid and the date and location of the violation.
Payment is due 30 calendar days from the date of violation, and it is a plea of guilty to the original charge(s). By paying the fine rather than appearing in court, you give up all legal rights to which you are entitled and your appearance will be waived. Instructions are on the back of the parking ticket and envelope.
To contest a parking ticket, appear at the Violations Bureau counter at 8:15 a.m., Monday through Thursday.
