Municipal Court is held the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at Dardenne Prairie City Hall.
Do not call on or attempt to pay your ticket until at least three (3) days have passed from the date you received the ticket. Tickets may then be paid in person at City Hall up until the day before the court date or by mail. Cash and money orders are the only acceptable forms of payment. Personal checks (including firm checks) are not accepted. Tickets paid by mail must be postmarked a minimum of five days prior to the court date listed on the ticket. Some violations may NOT be paid in advance and require a court appearance (see listing below). For further information, contact Coreen Conroy, Court Clerk at (636)561-1718 ext. 3.
NOTE: By paying your ticket in advance of your court date, you are in effect, pleading guilty as charged. All moving violations are reported to the Department of Revenue and may be subject to point assessments.
