The Brigantine Municipal Court is an independent branch of government constitutionally entrusted with the fair and just resolution of disputes in order to preserve the rule of law and to protect the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States and this state.

Useful Information:
Once a summons is issued and if you plan to plead not guilty and have a trial, you must notify the court of your intention at least 10 days prior to your scheduled court date. If you fail to notify the court it may be necessary for you to make two court appearances.

Only summonses with a checked court appearance date will be listed on the court calendar. Defendants who have a summons that does not require a court appearance, but would like to appear before the judge to plead not guilty must follow the above procedure.

If payment is made by mail, do not send cash, but send a check or money order payable to the Brigantine Municipal Court. Payment is due on or before the date listed on the bottom of the summons. If payment is received after that date, you may be assessed a late fee. Payments can be made by credit card in person at the Violations Bureau at 1417 W. Brigantine Avenue, Brigantine N.J. 08203.

A receipt will be sent only if a payment is accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If you fail to appear in response to a summons or to pay the prescribed penalty, additional penalties may result. A warrant may be issued for your arrest and your driving privileges in New Jersey may be revoked.
