Fredonia Citation Search Limits
Fredonia has an online payment entry, but the inspected vendor page did not expose a full public register of actions. A payment balance is not the same as a docket. Call the municipal clerk for the charge, status, next setting, and disposition.
This distinction matters after a payment, reset, or disputed citation. The court record shows the procedural event, while a vendor receipt only documents the transaction.
The Fredonia Municipal Court
Fredonia Municipal Court hears violations of city ordinances, including municipal traffic cases. The municipal clerk keeps those records. Wilson County District Court separately holds state cases. K.S.A. 12-4104 defines the city court’s ordinance jurisdiction.
The city directory lists court office hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., sessions Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m., the current address, and the payment link. Court staff should confirm the live setting and any appearance requirement.
Fredonia Municipal Court Office
The official Municipal Court page lists 100 N. 15th, Fredonia, KS 66736, and 620-378-2231. It publishes court hours and Wednesday sessions.
The current city directory is the best published source for the office, though a phone check remains wise before visiting.
Fredonia Court Dates and Settings
Fredonia’s regular municipal court session is Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. That recurring time does not prove a particular matter remains set. A continuance, payment instruction, or court order can change what the person must do. Confirm by citation number before travel.
| Date | Assigned Wednesday, unless reset |
|---|---|
| Time | 4:00 p.m. regular session |
| Location | Confirm current 100 N. 15th address |
| Court | Fredonia Municipal Court |
| Setting Type | Appearance, plea, hearing, trial, or compliance |
Fredonia Address Mismatch
Official local sources disagree about the municipal court address. The 31st District Wilson page lists 314 N. 7th. The current Fredonia city directory lists 100 N. 15th. Use the current city address and call 620-378-2231 before travel rather than silently relying on the older listing.
The mismatch is also a docket lesson. A static directory can lag a court move, just as a calendar snapshot can lag a reset. Live confirmation protects against both errors.
Fredonia Traffic Tickets
A city citation can be routed through FredoniaTix to the nCourt Fredonia payment page. The vendor shows Fredonia’s court contact and a phone-payment number. It is not the official city website and does not expose a full municipal docket in the inspected page.
Payment and contest are different choices. Follow the citation and clerk’s direction. For state-law tickets, use the Wilson County traffic court records path.
FredoniaTix Payment Route
The city-linked FredoniaTix entry redirects to an nCourt jurisdiction page. The vendor lists the Fredonia phone, a toll-free payment number of 877-685-4493, and extended vendor service hours.
The route can process an eligible citation. Exact convenience charges were not found in the static page, so review the live terms before paying and keep the receipt.
Where Fredonia Cases End Up
Original city-ordinance cases remain in Fredonia Municipal Court. A municipal appeal follows K.S.A. 22-3609 to district court. State crimes, district traffic, and civil suits begin in Wilson County District Court even when events occurred in Fredonia.

Fredonia and District Contacts
Fredonia has two important 620-378 phone numbers. Municipal Court uses 620-378-2231 for city cases. Wilson County District Court uses 620-378-4533 for state judicial cases. Similar location and area code do not make the files interchangeable.
| Case | Office | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| City ordinance or municipal traffic | Fredonia Municipal Court | 620-378-2231 |
| State criminal, traffic, or civil | Wilson County District Court | 620-378-4533 |
| Municipal appeal | District court after filing | 620-378-4533 |
Tell staff the citation or case number so the inquiry reaches the correct file.
Public Access to Fredonia Court Records
Ask the Fredonia clerk for a specific public docket entry, citation, order, or disposition. Include the name, citation number, and date. Kansas policy favors access to public records, subject to sealed material, protected data, and lawful limits.
Key Rules:
Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-216 states the open-record policy.
K.S.A. 12-4104 defines municipal jurisdiction.
K.S.A. 22-3609 provides the appeal route.
Fredonia City Hall Record Access
Fredonia City Hall houses municipal services, including the court-payment channel. The current city page confirms 100 N. 15th and provides the building context for an in-person request.
The official City Hall page supplies the assigned image.
The building is the city access point. District records remain in Room 214 at the Wilson County courthouse rather than in this municipal file.
For a copy request, state whether an ordinary copy or a certified municipal record is needed. Ask the clerk about current cost, delivery method, and turnaround because no official Fredonia fee schedule was found in the research.
Reading a Fredonia Docket Entry
A Fredonia docket entry ties a citation or case number to a city charge and a set of court events. Those events may include the first appearance, plea, later setting, payment, order, and disposition. The scheduled Wednesday session is not itself the result. A reset also does not erase the citation. Ask the clerk for the most recent entry whenever two sources conflict.
The docket and the document file are related but different. The docket is the chronological index. The case file contains public papers, orders, and other material behind those entries. A payment vendor record is narrower still. It can show a transaction but may not explain whether another condition or appearance remains.
- Setting
- A scheduled event at the Fredonia Municipal Court.
- Continuance
- A move from one court date to a later date.
- Disposition
- The way the municipal charge was resolved.
- Certified copy
- A copy bearing the record keeper’s official certification.
When ordering a Fredonia record, give the name, citation number, and document date. State whether the request is for the docket, a citation, a judgment, or a certified disposition. Specific wording helps the city clerk distinguish a record request from a payment question.
Fredonia Local Court Context
The 2020 Census figure used for Wilson County’s city ranking gives Fredonia 2,151 residents, second behind Neodesha. Fredonia is also the county seat. That creates two nearby but separate court channels: municipal cases through the city office and district cases through the state court office in the county courthouse.
The 31st Judicial District also publishes a Fredonia Court Days resource. It is useful for district scheduling context and legal-services court days, but it is not the complete Fredonia municipal register. Readers should distinguish the city named in a calendar from the court that owns the case.
The current city directory lists office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., while the League profile lists general city hours beginning at 7:30 a.m. The court-specific page is the better source for municipal court service. Call before an early visit rather than treating general City Hall hours as court-counter hours.
Fredonia’s payment vendor lists its own service hours, including evenings and weekends in Eastern time. Those are vendor support hours, not expanded municipal courtroom hours. Questions about a plea, setting, or record copy still belong to Fredonia Municipal Court during the office schedule published by the city.
Fredonia Search Troubleshooting
If a citation is absent, check the court on the ticket. A state-law matter may be in Wilson County District Court, while a city ordinance remains with the municipal clerk. Confirm the spelling, citation number, date, and issuing agency. New tickets may need time to reach the file.
A vendor error does not change a deadline. Call 620-378-2231 when FredoniaTix lacks the account or a prior payment is missing. Keep the receipt and give staff its date and amount. The clerk can compare that proof with the court file.
For a reset, request the latest setting. For a copy, name the docket, citation, order, or disposition. Ask for certification before the charge is calculated. Public access still does not override a seal or protected identifier.
Fredonia Wednesday Court Checklist
Before a Wednesday session, compare the citation with the latest clerk entry. Verify that the matter remains set for 4:00 p.m., ask when check-in begins, and confirm the 100 N. 15th location. The address mismatch in official sources makes that last call more than a routine step.
Bring the citation, identification, and any documents the court requested. If FredoniaTix shows an account, review the live terms before payment. A vendor screen should not be used to decide whether appearance is optional. Ask the municipal clerk whether the citation is payable, whether payment resolves the charge, and how the transaction will be entered.
If a plea or hearing creates another date, write down the purpose as well as the day and time. A pretrial setting, trial, and compliance review are not interchangeable. If the court resets the matter, ask for the updated entry or written notice so an older Wednesday date is not mistaken for the current one.
After disposition, a plain docket printout may be enough for personal reference. A certified copy is a separate clerk product. State the intended record, request a current quote, and let Fredonia staff identify the available delivery route.
