Municipal Court

Office Hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we are attempting to minimize in-person court appearances.  In-person hearings are available requiring everyone to wear a face mask.  

Whitewater Municipal Court will give you the option to have a video or phone hearing through GoToMeeting, a letter will be mail to you with the access code. If you choosing to do this there is no need for you to appear in person.

Below are the options that are available to you. The court office is open, but we encourage business by telephone, email, and/or mail.

You can enter a Not Guilty Plea in writing prior to the court date by email at Clerk of Whitewater Municipal Court OR by mail at P.O. Box 690 Whitewater, WI 53190. Your matter will then be set for a pretrial telephone conference at a later date and time and a notice will be mailed to you. 

Please provide your name, address, phone number and citation number(s) on your request.

Payment of your citation prior to the court date will automatically result in entry of a no contest plea and you will be found guilty.  

If you wish to request a new court date, you may request a one-time continuance prior to the court date by phone, email or mail.  A new initial appearance date will be given.

IF YOU DO NOTHING, you will be found guilty by default and given 60 days to pay.

If your appearance is marked "MANDATORY", the same options stated above will apply to you.  Please contact the court clerk for additional possible options and/or consequences.

We ask that if you do appear, you do not bring along any additional parties except those necessary, and/or a parent or guardian if required.

PLEASE NOTE:  When considering your options above, with minimal exceptions, the Judge cannot amend your citation at your initial appearance.  If you wish to contest your citation or discuss anything regarding your citation, please consider entering a not guilty plea in writing prior to the court date as stated above and you will be scheduled for a pretrial telephone conference with the City attorney at a later date.
