Municipal Court

The purpose of the Municipal Court is to ensure that each person accused of a violation (infraction), or crime be guaranteed and provided all the constitutional rights to a fair and speedy judicial process in such a manner that it preserves both the dignity and rights of the defendant, as well as the citizens of Gladstone.

 

The Gladstone Municipal Court is the judicial branch of Gladstone city government. The Court has jurisdiction over all city and most state law offenses committed within the city limits of Gladstone, excluding felony matters.

The Gladstone Municipal Court also has Justice of the Peace Jurisdiction which it is currently not exercising.

Court is held on the Second and Fourth Monday of each month from 8:30am-5pm
or 
until court is completed.

 

 

PhoneScams

It’s been brought to our attention by Gladstone residents of a scam/spoof call leaving a voicemail indicating that you have to call the scam phone # back to resolve outstanding fines/fees with our court.  Variations of this con also spoof similar phone numbers. The area code and first three digits will be the same as yours, but scammers will vary the last four. This is because targets are more likely to pick up if they think the call is from someone nearby.

Court staff will never call you to collect money like this. 

If you have outstanding fines/fees you will receive mail correspondence NOT phone calls from the court staff.  It’s important for you to know that our court contracts Western Collection Bureau for any outstanding fines/fees you may have unpaid. 

Before returning a call to unknown number please contact the court directly to verify the validity of the message.
