Did you receive a traffic ticket on Cedar Street for stopping or parking in a bus stop (NRS 484B.517)? Did you receive a traffic ticket driving on College Ave for leaving your vehicle unattended on a perceptible grade (NRS 484B.533)? Were you driving on Ash Street and failed to yield to a temporary road block (NRS 484B.574)? These traffic tickets may be handled by the Elko Municipal Court. You can check the top and bottom of your traffic violation and it should say the issuing party (Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Metro) and the county and court where the ticket will be handled.  It is important to always check the deadline for appearance, which is typically shown on the bottom of citations. Failure to appear on or resolve before that date can result in a warrant. Some of the more common tickets we see for the Elko Municipal Court are violations such as Speeding, Failure to Yield, Failing to Observe Traffic Control Device and Improper Lane Overtake. These types of violations can often be negotiated with the Elko Municipal Court via the District Attorney’s office. Some Courts and/or District Attorney’s may have policies in place that disallow such a negotiation, while others may actively welcome it.

Justice Courts

Each of Nevada’s counties and its independent city are divided into one or more townships, and each township has a justice court. The justice courts are courts of limited jurisdiction that hear only minor cases; in general, they hear misdemeanor cases (including traffic tickets), and civil cases involving $15,000 or less (including evictions and small claims cases). They may also hold probable cause hearings for felony and gross misdemeanor cases. There are 40 justice courts in the state.
