Searching the Beaverton Court Docket
The city itself posts no municipal-court docket. For Beaverton traffic tickets, civil infractions, misdemeanors, or the early stages of a felony, the judicial route runs through Gladwin County's 80th District Court and MiCOURT Case Search. Type in the exact party name. Or use the case number printed on the Beaverton notice. Then check the court, case type, status, and public register of actions. That last step confirms the docket entry belongs to your matter. It rules out someone with a similar name.
- Read the Beaverton notice for its court, case, or citation identifier and the appearance instructions.
- Search MiCOURT by exact name or case number, using the criminal/traffic/civil-infraction category when it fits the Beaverton matter.
- Check whether the result identifies the 80th District Court and review any public case-history or next-hearing field.
- Use CourtDisplay or the case history for an upcoming Beaverton setting, then confirm it with the court.
- Call 80th District Court at 989-426-9207, extension 6, for Beaverton traffic, DNR, animal-control, and city-ticket routing when the online result is unclear.
A Beaverton city-office record can explain an ordinance or a bureau action. It is no substitute for the judicial register of actions. When you need a formal hearing or a court-certified document, follow the court named on the Beaverton citation or court notice.
Beaverton Has No Municipal Docket
Beaverton's official materials list no municipal court, no municipal-court calendar, and no city-hosted docket search. That gap does not strand Beaverton cases. The 80th District Court's own jurisdiction description covers City of Beaverton matters outright. Those matters run from civil infractions to misdemeanors and felonies. A Beaverton case can move straight from city enforcement into district court. No separate Beaverton judicial database sits in between.
Beaverton's official city-government home shows the municipal side of things: City Hall, local ordinances, and the offices that administer them.
The Beaverton city-government site is handy for municipal details, but it is not a court-case portal. Any public docket search has to go through MiCOURT or the Gladwin County court clerk handling the case.
Beaverton Municipal Court Basics
One correction worth making: "Beaverton municipal court" is not a real thing here. The official city materials show no separate municipal court. Beaverton has city government, a City Hall clerk route, and a Municipal Ordinance Violations Bureau, while the 80th District Court does all the judicial work for Beaverton city matters. Call the bureau a court and you misstate its role. Send a record request there and it lands with the wrong office.
The 80th District Court serves as the county's entry point for Beaverton traffic cases, civil infractions, misdemeanors, and felony preliminary stages. Misdemeanors stay in district court for trial or resolution. A felony typically begins with district arraignment and a preliminary examination, then moves to the 55th Circuit Court after bindover when required. Beaverton does not change that Michigan court structure at all.
Beaverton Ordinance Bureau Limits
Beaverton's official ordinance material sets up a Municipal Ordinance Violations Bureau at City Hall. The bureau can take an admission of responsibility for a scheduled municipal civil-infraction notice. It can also collect the scheduled fines and costs. That is an administrative path, limited to the notices it covers. It is not a public Beaverton court docket. It cannot hold a formal judicial hearing or decide whether a violation actually occurred.
A recipient who wants a formal hearing follows the district-court appearance printed on the citation. The city's ordinance material places that hearing before the district court or judge. For current scheduled-fine amounts and bureau hours, ask Beaverton City Hall directly. An older ordinance copy should not be treated as a current fee schedule.
Beaverton route: City Hall may accept a scheduled admission for a qualifying municipal notice. A formal contest, judicial hearing, or judicial case history belongs with the 80th District Court.
Court Dates and Settings in Beaverton
The appearance date printed on a Beaverton citation is your first source. MiCOURT shows public case history. Michigan CourtDisplay is the separate public calendar for scheduled events. CourtDisplay works through date navigation. Depending on setup, a calendar line can show a party name, time, room, case number, and other hearing details. Keep one caution in mind. A Beaverton calendar entry proves only that an event was scheduled. It does not show that a hearing happened or how the case came out.
| Date | The scheduled Beaverton-related court day. Confirm it against the notice or clerk because it can move. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed court time, which may be a docket-call time rather than an individual start time. |
| Courtroom | The room, location, or remote label shown by the court. City Hall is not automatically the hearing location. |
| Judge | The court or judicial officer identified in public information when shown; the judicial assignment may change. |
| Setting Type | A public label such as arraignment, hearing, pretrial, examination, or trial. Read later case-history entries for the result. |
There is no stable Gladwin-specific CourtDisplay ID or Beaverton city calendar posted publicly. For a time-sensitive Beaverton setting, combine the citation, the public calendar, and a call to the 80th District Court.
Beaverton Hearings Reach District Court
Beaverton's ordinance process draws a clean line. Paying at City Hall is an administrative admission. A formal hearing is something else entirely. When a Beaverton matter needs a judicial hearing, the citation gives the district-court appearance date. Call the public district number at 989-426-9207. Extension 6 is the local routing line. It covers traffic, DNR, animal-control tickets, and related city-ticket questions.
Before travelling, confirm the current date, time, and location with the 80th District Court. The county courthouse functions sit at 401 W Cedar Avenue in Gladwin. Beaverton City Hall is a separate municipal office. The closest city hall is not always the court holding the Beaverton hearing or register of actions.
Traffic Tickets in Beaverton
Beaverton itself hosts no ticket-search tool. For a Beaverton traffic or civil-infraction lookup, use MiCOURT's criminal/traffic/civil-infraction category. Choose the 80th District Court. Type the citation or case number exactly as printed. If the online docket search returns no public result, call the court instead of assuming the Beaverton matter was resolved or never filed.
For traffic, DNR, and animal-control questions, the 80th District Court sends callers to extension 6. The court's official page offers GovPayNOW, location code 5073, for district fines and costs. A separate service fee applies. Paying is not a court-date confirmation and not proof of a disposition. The posted traffic schedule is dated May 30, 2019. So check current Beaverton fine amounts with the court.
Beaverton City Hall Records
Beaverton City Hall keeps the municipal side of the house. That covers ordinances, council matters, local city records, and city FOIA materials. The City Clerk does not hold the state-court case history. On the official contact page, City Hall sits at 128 Saginaw Street, Beaverton, MI 48612, with phone 989-435-3511 and fax 989-435-3223. Clerk Janelle Keen-Burgoyne is at extension 3. Hours run Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The office is closed Friday through Sunday.
Beaverton's official contact page lays out this City Hall and clerk route for municipal services.
Take city records and bureau business to the Beaverton clerk. For the Beaverton judicial register of actions, court calendar questions, and certified court-record copies, go to the 80th District Court.
Where Beaverton Cases Go
Which court gets a Beaverton matter depends on subject-matter jurisdiction. The 80th District Court handles Beaverton traffic, city civil infractions, and misdemeanors. It also handles the district stage of felonies. After arraignment and preliminary examination, a felony can be bound over to the 55th Circuit Court. The Circuit Court also takes its own civil and Family Division cases. Probate goes to the 17th Probate Court. It does not go to the Beaverton clerk or the circuit-copy form by default.
Docket flow: Beaverton ordinance bureau or city notice › 80th District Court › 55th Circuit Court after a felony bindover when applicable
So match the court level to the case number in any Beaverton docket search. For name and number workflow across those levels, use the county Gladwin County case lookup path. It explains the public MiCOURT filters and the limits on restricted cases.
Beaverton Police Counts Are Not Dockets
Beaverton's December 2023 police report, published with the January 2024 council materials, gives city activity context. But it gives no Beaverton court docket. It is not a caseload or a disposition report. The counts include 75 calls for service, 38 criminal calls, 37 civil calls, 19 traffic stops, and 9 citations issued. There were also 4 nontraffic citations, 1 misdemeanor arrest, and 0 felony arrests. Those are activity numbers. They name no cases, findings, or judicial outcomes.
The distinction matters here. A police report, an ordinance-bureau item, a city record, and a district-court case history can all trace back to one event. Yet each serves a different purpose. The judicial record is still the 80th District Court register of actions or a permitted court file. And a public calendar entry does not establish a disposition either.
Beaverton Court Record Access Rules
Beaverton court records follow Michigan court rules, not city FOIA. That applies when the file belongs to a state court. Under MCR 8.119, the public register of actions is available unless a case or entry is restricted. Other public information may be provided electronically on request, and free inspection is separate from reproduction charges. The court file itself cannot leave the court office. To get a judicial document, identify the 80th District Court case. Then request that specific public record from the court.
Public access boundary: MCR 8.119 governs Michigan trial-court records. Juvenile, sealed, protected, mental-health, personal-protection, and other restricted Beaverton-related records may not be publicly displayed or copied.
The November 2024 MiCOURT privacy guidance permits limited public display of a year of birth while protecting more sensitive identifying data. Public users cannot search MiCOURT by driver’s-license number.
For a Beaverton district matter, contact the 80th District Court about inspection, copies, certification, and fees. Don't reach for the County Clerk's circuit-record request form for a district file. Confirm the case actually sits in circuit court first.
Beaverton History and Search Terms
A little local setting keeps a Beaverton search at the right altitude. The official city history places Beaverton at the confluence of the Tobacco and Cedar rivers. Lumber settlement came around 1863, with continuous settlement since 1875. Beaverton incorporated as a village in 1896 and as a city in 1903. It bills itself as the "Thermoforming Capital of the World." The adopted master plan ties together the city's river, railroad, electric-dam, and industrial past.
A business-related court search may need the exact business name, not a local nickname. MiCOURT allows business-name searches. But results depend on how the party name was entered in the case system. Confirm spelling and the court before drawing a connection. The history is search context, not a separate court jurisdiction.
Gladwin's official city-government source makes clear that Gladwin and Beaverton run as separate municipal governments.
Each city runs its own municipal offices. Even so, the 80th District Court expressly routes Gladwin and Beaverton city matters into the same district-court system. That shared route is why a Beaverton court docket search never starts at a city-hosted judicial portal.
