Danville Court Docket Searches
Open Indiana MyCase and pick Hendricks County from the selector. Skip the hunt for a Danville municipal court. The Hendricks filter already covers Circuit Court and Superior Courts 1 through 5, which includes the court that handles Danville Police infractions and ordinance violations.
- Use one known case, citation, or cross-reference number on the Case tab.
- Select Hendricks County and narrow by status or filing dates only when needed.
- With no number, search a last and first name and verify every returned court.
- Open the Case Summary and read the newest hearing and CCS entries.
- Call the Hendricks Clerk or assigned court when a setting remains unclear.
The search help accepts case numbers with hyphens or without. Leading zeroes are optional too. A blank result can mean a wrong filter, a recent citation, a confidential file, or a transferred number.
Danville Is the County Seat
The Hendricks County Courthouse sits in Danville, and it houses the Clerk along with the Circuit Court and Superior Courts. That is a county role. It is not a Danville town court. The town itself runs no separate court page today.
Need to reach the town anyway? The Town of Danville lists its municipal office at 49 N. Wayne Street, phone 317-745-4180, with general weekday hours. The county courthouse stands at 51 W. Main Street, also known as One Courthouse Square. Once inside, the Clerk counter is #104. A third county address, the Government Center, appears in the county website footer. Each office does its own job.
The Town of Danville site supplied this assigned image.
The town's own page covers municipal government, not the docket. The actual court record lives at the county courthouse.

Inside the Danville Municipal Court
No active Danville municipal court appears in the official directory. That surprises some people. Danville Police infractions and town ordinance violations do get a home, though. Hendricks Local Rule 2 assigns them to Superior Court 5. Anything else filed in Danville lands wherever the county assignment table sends that case type.
Knowing this saves you a dead-end docket search. Don't hunt for a Danville Town Court filter, judge, or courtroom. None exists to find. Run your case lookup through Hendricks County. Check whether the entry names Superior Court 5 or a different county court. The town website covers town government business only. Not the judicial docket.
Routing point: Danville Police infractions and Danville ordinance violations go to Hendricks Superior Court 5 under the current local rule.
Danville Tickets Use Superior Five
Danville traffic tickets land in Superior Court 5. The court sits in the Hendricks County Courthouse at office #111. The official directory gives phone 317-718-6169 and fax 317-718-6170. Judge Stephenie LeMay-Luken presides, per the county. When a Danville citation seems unclear online, those details offer a direct way to verify it.
One quirk worth knowing. The county court page says cell phones are not allowed in Superior Court 5. Confirm the rule before you appear. And do not assume it applies to every office in the courthouse.
| Danville item | Official route | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Police infraction | Superior Court 5 | MyCase and court phone |
| Ordinance violation | Superior Court 5 | Local rule and case result |
| Other county case | Assigned Circuit or Superior Court | MyCase court field |
| Town agenda | Town government | Not a court docket |
Finding Danville Court Dates
Check the hearing entries in MyCase first. Then cross-check the Indiana Trial Court Calendars application when the assigned court participates. CourtCal searches by date, county, and court within its displayed window, though its court list runs narrower than the full Hendricks directory.
| Date | The day in the latest hearing event |
|---|---|
| Time | The individual setting listed for the Danville matter |
| Courtroom | Superior Court 5 or another assigned county courtroom |
| Judge | The judicial officer shown on the event |
| Setting Type | Initial hearing, pretrial, trial, compliance, or other named event |
A newer reset or cancellation beats an older setting. Call the court if a mailed notice and the online event disagree. An empty CourtCal result does not erase a Danville case.
Three Danville Calendars Differ
Three calendars, three processes. The Case Summary logs case events in a docket. CourtCal groups judicial settings, while a Town Council agenda announces government meetings and town business. None of them substitutes for another.
- CCS
- The dated Chronological Case Summary in a court case.
- Court calendar
- A schedule of hearings for a participating trial court and date.
- Town agenda
- A municipal meeting record, not a judicial hearing list.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event that may later be reset or canceled.
Relying on the town site for a court date sends people to the wrong place. The right source is the assigned court record or calendar, then the clerk for verification.
Danville Traffic Ticket Lookups
Search the Indiana payment portal by Ticket or UTT number, driver license number, or name and date of birth. Then run the citation through MyCase to read the public case events. The portal warns that not every ticket is online or eligible. Transaction costs get added. Missing ticket? First confirm Danville Police issued it. Allow time for electronic transfer and try the MyCase citation field. Then call Superior Court 5. The court named on the official result beats any broad web search. Paying and contesting are different paths. A payment result is not a full court record. The county-wide Hendricks traffic court page explains citations, court dates, and copy routes in more depth.
Danville Address Mix-Up
Addresses trip people up in Danville. Court and clerk offices sit at 51 W. Main Street, also styled One Courthouse Square. The county Government Center is a different building entirely, at 355 S. Washington Street. Town Hall sits elsewhere again, at 49 N. Wayne Street. Only the first address is the published clerk-counter route for Danville court records. Call the receiving office before you drive over. That matters most when your errand involves a specific courtroom, a certified copy, or a security restriction. The courthouse keeps regular hours of Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. One caution applies. The clerk's marriage-license cutoff is a separate service and should not be read as a court-record deadline.
Addresses are routing facts. They never tell you which court owns a case. For that answer, check the court field in MyCase. Confirm the court and the setting first. Then plan parking and security. Superior Court 5 publishes a cell-phone restriction, but that rule belongs to that court rather than to every room in the building. The county prohibited-items notice is an official courthouse source worth reading before you pack a bag. Bring the case number plus a copy of the latest notice. Leave time for screening. When an address, courtroom, or device question comes up, a quick call ahead settles it.
How Danville Cases Reach the County
Danville cases start at county altitude. Local infractions and town ordinance matters route to Superior Court 5. Everything else enters whichever court the case family assigns. So civil torts, collections, probate, juvenile, domestic, small claims, and criminal cases never share one Danville docket.
Docket flow: Danville local matter › Hendricks County Courts › Hendricks Circuit Court and Hendricks Superior Courts 1–5
The county trial bench holds one Circuit Court. It also holds five Superior Courts. Local rules spread the work by case type, quota, or rotation. Read the assigned court. Guessing from the word Danville gets you nowhere. Appeals go up to the Indiana Court of Appeals. Federal matters belong to the Southern District of Indiana and PACER, not MyCase.
Danville Population Is Not Caseload
Danville counted 10,559 residents in the 2020 Census/TIGER place data. That ranks fourth among the five selected Hendricks places. The figure gives civic scale, not a tally of Superior Court 5 filings, local infractions, or courthouse visitors.
Being the county seat explains why so many court offices sit in Danville. It does not make every Hendricks case a Danville municipal case. It says nothing about filing rates either. The county is bigger than the town. A statewide service report credits the courts of record with six judges and two magistrates. The directory gives separate rooms and phones for those offices. So "the Danville courthouse" fails as a docket filter. Get the Circuit Court or the correct Superior Court from MyCase. Then call about the hearing.
Danville Clerk Record Channels
MyCase is free and shows eligible documents. Beyond its public Case Summary, the Hendricks Clerk handles in-person inspection, ordinary copies, certified copies, official balances, and routing for older or missing county files. The office sits at 51 W. Main Street, #104, phone 317-745-9231, fax 317-745-9306.
- Search MyCase first with the best identifier.
- Use CourtCal only as a hearing-date cross-check.
- Call Superior Court 5 for its Danville infraction setting.
- Ask the Clerk for a copy, certification, or official balance.
- Ask the assigned reporter about a transcript or hearing recording.
The Hendricks Clerk offers no single certified-copy web form and publishes no turnaround chart. So confirm the fee, payment method, delivery route, and any identity requirement before you send a request. The Indiana fee manual lists general copy and certification charges. Your exact total still depends on the product. An ordinary clerk copy, a certified copy, a transcript, and a hearing recording are not interchangeable goods. A reporter transcript may run on local-rule page rates. An ordinary clerk copy follows the clerk schedule instead. Ask for a quote before mailing funds. And do not treat the MyCase financial screen as the current official balance.
Older files take the same route. So do documents missing from online view. A CCS entry can show an order or motion was docketed even when MyCase has no file link. Give the clerk the assigned court and the event date. Transcripts go to the court reporter; filed pleadings and certified orders start with the clerk.
Danville's size makes an in-person fallback practical. Access limits still apply. Ask for the public portion of the record. Expect protected details to be withheld or redacted. A court can supervise access to certain exhibits or recordings. Bring a case number and a document description so staff can find the file without a broad search. If a notice is unclear, call before making the courthouse trip. That same call can confirm the Danville courtroom, the entry rules, and whether the court record is ready for review.
Who Can See Danville Court Records
Indiana presumes public access to court records. Each court can carve out exclusions, and juvenile, adoption, sealed, expunged, and other confidential material may be absent. A document missing online may still sit in the courthouse file, since some nonconfidential papers are open only in person and a gap online proves nothing about whether a filing occurred.
Key rules:
Access Rule 4 establishes the public-access baseline.
Access Rule 5 identifies confidential case and document categories.
Administrative Rule 9 addresses records, requests, daily calendars, and dockets.
Hand over the details. Give the clerk the court, case number, document name, and date range, since a verified petition may be needed to seek excluded material and ordinary town public-record channels cannot bypass judicial access rules.
