Elyria Municipal Courthouse

The Elyria Municipal Court, established in 1955, is a local judicial institution serving the cities of Elyria and North Ridgeville, as well as the villages of Grafton and Lagrange, and several townships in Ohio. With two elected judges and one municipal court clerk, it handles a wide range of cases, including misdemeanors, traffic violations, civil disputes up to $15,000, and small claims up to $6,000, making it one of the busiest municipal courts in the state.

Operating from Monday to Friday, the court strives to provide efficient and fair justice to its district's population of over 118,000 citizens. While felony cases are initially heard to determine probable cause, they are subsequently transferred to the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas. With its long-standing history and commitment to serving the community, the Elyria Municipal Court remains a vital institution in the local legal system.
