Municipal Court

Overview

Spring Hill Municipal Court handles cases of alleged violations of City ordinances committed within the city limits. The cases usually involve traffic and other minor offenses. The Judge hears the cases without a jury.

A person charged with an offense in municipal court may be represented by an attorney. If the defendant is unable to afford an attorney and there is a possible jail penalty, the court may appoint an attorney for the defendant.

Court is held the first and third Tuesday of each month at 8:30 a.m., at the Spring Hill City Hall, 401 N. Madison St., Spring Hill, KS 66083.  

Please Note:

On the morning of and during court, staff is unable to answer phone calls regarding citations and other court matters. Please leave a message and your call will be returned after court when the clerk is available.
