Plain English: what this chapter covers

This chapter lays out how Ashburn's municipal court runs: when it meets, how tickets and summonses get served, what happens if you miss court, and how bonds work. It also sets up the court-appointed defense lawyer and city prosecutor positions, and the extra charges added on top of fines. If you ever get a city citation, this is the chapter that explains the process.

It shall be the duty of the clerk of court to keep a docket showing the disposition of all cases brought before the . At the trial of all cases, the city clerk shall record opposite the statement of the case the punishment inflicted and the date, and an entry shall be made under the sentence of the judge of the municipal court showing the final disposition of the case, that is whether the fine, if any, was collected, the date of such collection, and the disposition of such amounts.

This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. The official code is on Municode and at City Hall. Our copy is from April 30, 2026.
