Civil violations are not criminal offenses. However, the court reports civil violation judgments to the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles and/or the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. A civil violation complaint includes traffic violations, municipal ordinance violations, and fish and wildlife violations.

You can contact the court by phone, in writing, in person, or by sending an email to JUD.VJB@vermont.gov. A motion is a request in writing asking the court to consider doing something specific in your case. All motions must identify the request and give specific reasons for the request.

Please note if you are looking to contest a Vermont Civil Violation, you should contact the Judicial Bureau at 802-295-8869. If you would like to request a hearing, please complete the Hearings Request form and return it by mail.
