The Haledon Municipal Court has a Court Administrator and a Deputy Administrator who are appointed by the Mayor and serve for one year terms. The Municipal Court Administrator and the Deputy Administrator are responsible for:

· Carrying out the rules, regulations, policies and procedures relating to the operation of the Court.

· Receiving complaints and dispensing information relating to Court matters.

· Maintaining the financial records of the Court and entering them in the docket; arranging trial calendars; signing Court documents; and preparing and issuing warrants; and receiving and accounting for fines and costs.

The Municipal Court has jurisdiction over all motor vehicle matters, disorderly person complaints, fish & game violations, weights & measure complaints as well as all local ordinance violations.

Many motor vehicle violations, unless serious, can be paid directly through the Municipal Court Violations Bureau located at 510 Belmont Avenue. If you wish to pay by credit card, this may be done by logging on to the following web site: www.njmcdirect.com

Please be aware that there are many violations that cannot be paid and a court appearance is mandatory. Many of the most common payable violations are listed on the back of the ticket. If you are unsure as to whether you need to appear in court, please contact the court office at 973-790-0500.

The Municipal Court does not assess motor vehicle points. This is done so by the Division of Motor Vehicles, by visiting www.njmcdirect.com, you can link into a listing provided by NJDMV. All points associated with moving violations are listed here.

If you wish to plead not guilty to a complaint or ticket, you must contact the court office via phone. You must speak with court personnel directly in order to enter a not guilty plea. Once you enter a not guilty plea, you will be scheduled to appear in court.

Civilian complaints are issued by the Municipal Court. Civilian complaints are accepted at the court office between the hours of 9:00a.m. and 3:00p.m. You must appear personally to file a civilian complaint; as a judicial officer must speak with the complainant to determine probable cause for a complaint to issue.

You can print a copy of the “Complaint Information” form to get the process started. Please read it thoroughly and bring the completed form to the court office and speak with the Court Administrator or the Deputy Court Administrator.

The Violations Bureau is open from 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. where fines can be paid in person, through the mail or via the Internet. Certain traffic offenses are not payable and the defendant must appear in Court. Please make checks payable to the Haledon Municipal Court.
