Monon Court Docket Searches
Begin with MyCase, the state's free public case search. Select the White County filter. Monon will not appear as a court choice, since the city has none. If you know a cause number, search it directly. Otherwise use a party name with filing-date and open-or-closed filters. White cause numbers start with 91C01 for Circuit Court or 91D01 for Superior Court, and those codes tell you which court owns the case, which matters more than a Monon address ever will.
Spelling an issue? A trailing asterisk or the Sounds-like option helps. MyCase caps its results, so keep that county filter on. Remember that search results are not the official record, and a brand-new filing may not show yet. For a current or certified entry, call the White County Clerk at 574-583-7032 or stop at the second-floor counter.
- Open MyCase and choose Case, Name, or Attorney.
- Select White County instead of searching all Indiana courts.
- Enter the cause number, citation, or party details and narrow the dates.
- Open the result and read the latest CCS setting, status, and court code.
- Confirm a live hearing or official copy with the clerk or assigned court.
Monon Cases Left 91I01
Monon once had its own town-court code, 91I01. Indiana Administrative Rule 8 now lists the White/Monon Town Court as abolished effective January 1, 2011. That date controls all present routing. You may still see the old name in historic material. It is not a current place to file, call, or search for a hearing.
The current Rule 8 court list documents the change. New Monon infractions and ordinance cases now route to White Superior Court.
Inside the Monon Municipal Court
Skip the hunt for a Monon Municipal Court. None exists. The controlling 2026 White local rules send all infractions and ordinance violations to White Superior Court, along with felony, misdemeanor, expungement, and miscellaneous criminal filings. So a city police citation or an alleged Monon ordinance violation turns into a county court case, not a city-court docket entry.
Knowing this saves you a dead end. The Monon civic site posts town services, agendas, and minutes, but no judicial settings. Town Hall records and a CCS answer different questions. For any filed case, trust MyCase and the White County Clerk.
Key point: A Monon address does not imply a Monon court. Use the White County filter and read the court prefix.
Monon Town Hall Is Not Court
Court files sit with the White County Clerk in Monticello. Monon's Town Hall page lists 800 N. Adams Street, PO Box 657, phone 219-253-6441, and weekday hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Another town page shows 422 N. Market, so call before you drive out. Town minutes are not CCS entries.
| Need | Correct Monon source |
|---|---|
| Case setting or filed order | Assigned county court or White County Clerk |
| Certified court copy | White County Clerk |
| Town agenda or service | Monon Town Hall |
| Public CCS lookup | MyCase |
Both offices sit in the county seat, which is why the mix-up happens. Ask what kind of record you need before traveling.
Finding Monon Court Dates
A public Monon hearing can show up in the MyCase CCS as a notice of setting, hearing, trial, pretrial, or reset. Read the entries in date order and trust the latest setting over earlier ones. White County posts no standalone public daily case-calendar webpage. Even so, Indiana Administrative Rule 9 requires daily dockets to be available electronically or in another form, so the assigned court and the clerk remain your direct channels.
| Date | The current hearing date, subject to any later reset. |
|---|---|
| Time | The docketed start time, which may be a shared call. |
| Courtroom | The stated room or court location. |
| Judge | The assigned or presiding judicial officer. |
| Setting Type | Initial hearing, pretrial, motion hearing, trial, or another listed event. |
Monon From 1853 to CCS
Monon's official history traces the town's platting to 1853. Its modern court trail is much newer. After the town court died, White Circuit and Superior went live on Odyssey on March 16, 2020. MyCase now serves as the public search layer. Recent Monon matters appear under White County, not a Monon court choice.
The official Odyssey court list supplies the implementation history. One caution about older files. A converted entry may be brief. An online event may lack an image. Neither fact means the clerk lacks the paper or official record. Need more detail on an older Monon file? Ask for the exact event date and copy type.
The state also built a common format for the CCS. Filing, order, setting, reset, and disposition entries line up in time order. That sequence is how you tell a mere request from a judge's ruling.
Monon Traffic Ticket Lookups
Start with Indiana ePay to look up an eligible Monon ticket. Search by UTT number, driver-license number, or name and birth date. The detail page can show the police agency, the offense, the court, the case number, the balance, and payment choices. Not every ticket qualifies. A ticket less than ten business days old may not have posted yet. For the CCS and later court events, MyCase is the better route.
Every White County infraction and ordinance violation files in White Superior Court. Be careful before paying. A payment choice can have judgment effect and waive trial rights. So read the plea notice first. Is a ticket missing, or do you want to contest it? Call Superior Court at 574-583-1548 or the clerk. The countywide distinctions are laid out in White County traffic court records.
Monon Civic and Court Sources
A free CCS screen is not a certified copy. For the real thing, order from the White County Clerk. State sources set the fees at one dollar per legal or letter page. A certificate under seal costs three dollars. Before ordering, call the clerk. Confirm the total, how copies will be delivered, and whether the court record you need is on file. Monon offers no local online order form, and no turnaround time is promised. For a plain or certified copy of any Monon court docket entry, the county clerk is the office to contact.
White County Clerk's Office
110 N. Main Street, second floor
Monticello, IN 47960
574-583-7032
Weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The official Monon site is the source for this assigned civic image.
Town Hall handles town facts. Court cases live in the county system, and the Monon Town Hall page lists the office's own contact details for town matters.
Need to visit in person? The Monon directions page gives the route and location details for town offices. Civic questions still go through Town Hall. Case records and docket copies stay with the White County Clerk, so split your errands accordingly.
Its address conflict is a good reason to call before a town-office visit.
How Monon Cases Reach the County
Monon has no city court of its own. Every case starts in one of two courts. Superior handles criminal matters, infractions, ordinance violations, small claims, evictions, and red-flag cases. Circuit takes juvenile, probate, family, protective-order, mental-health, adoption, and several other listed matters. A few civil categories can be filed in either court. A White County court docket search will therefore land in one of these two courts.
Docket flow: abolished Monon Town Court › White Circuit Court or White Superior Court › Court of Appeals of Indiana when an appeal is filed
The cause number tells you which court. 91C01 means Circuit; 91D01 means Superior. A transfer can change the prefix, so check the CCS before assuming a new code means a whole new dispute.
Monon CCS Terms in Plain English
Short CCS labels describe events. They do not always capture the full text or legal effect of a filing. Read the docket entries in sequence, and a request will not be mistaken for a ruling.
- Motion Filed
- A party asked the judge to act; the request is not yet a ruling.
- Order
- The judge issued a written direction or decision.
- Notice of Setting
- A hearing date, time, and location were entered.
- Continuance or Reset
- An earlier setting changed; find the newest date.
- Converted Event
- Older data were brought into Odyssey from a prior system.
When exact wording matters, open the public image if one is available. Otherwise, request the order from the clerk. A status label alone may not answer what the judge decided.
Monon Search Returns No Town Court
Search MyCase, pick White County, and find no Monon Town Court? That is expected. Current Rule 8 marks code 91I01 as abolished. Select White County, then search by party, cause number, citation, or attorney. A present ordinance or infraction case should carry the White Superior prefix 91D01. The Circuit prefix 91C01 points to the other county trial court.
If the first search fails, adjust the query. Drop hyphens and leading zeroes from a known number. Or add a trailing wildcard where the portal permits it. Use Sounds-like for a name with alternate spellings. When results run broad, add an open-or-closed filter and a filing-date range. The public interface can return up to 1,000 results, so the county choice matters. An old town-court reference may simply predate the current county system.
A blank result can mean several things. The filing may be too new to display. The spelling or court filter may be wrong. Older data may be incomplete. Or the case may be confidential, sealed, or expunged. A public case header can appear with no document image attached. Rule 5 may exclude the document while leaving the case information visible. Treat a missing result as no proof at all that the matter does not exist.
After reasonable search variants fail, call the White County Clerk at 574-583-7032. Give any former 91I01 reference and a party name. Add an approximate year and the exact record needed. Ask whether the source is a current CCS. It may instead be a converted Odyssey event, a paper archive, or a restricted category. For a live Monon hearing, Superior Court is 574-583-1548 and Circuit Court is 574-583-5032. Town Hall cannot confirm the county court's setting.
Be careful with historical dates. A 2009 judicial report used an earlier abolition phrasing, while current Rule 8 gives January 1, 2011. Follow the current rule for present routing. For archival research, hand the clerk the old court code and an approximate year. That keeps an old Monon docket-book request distinct from a new Superior Court CCS search. It may also help staff locate converted or paper material. Keep the old citation or notice with your request.
Who Can See Monon Court Records
Indiana's court access rules keep public Monon court records open. That holds online or at the counter alike. Rule 5 can still exclude a whole case, a single document, or protected personal data. So a visible case with no linked document can be normal. Juvenile, family, mental-health, protective-order, and some probate material may face tighter limits. Those limits can apply to remote docket access.
Key Rules:
Indiana Administrative Rule 4 establishes the general public-access framework for court records.
Indiana Administrative Rule 5 lists excluded records and protected personal information.
Indiana Access to Public Records Act supplies the broader state public-records framework.
Never try to work around a restricted label. Instead, ask the clerk whether a public version, redacted copy, in-person inspection, or court order is the right channel for that court record.
