Bethany is Morgan County's smallest incorporated municipality, so this page should remain deliberately concise.
Current Indiana records continue to identify Bethany Civil Town in Morgan County, and Morgan County's current Unified Development Ordinance specifically includes Bethany within the County planning jurisdiction along with Brooklyn and Paragon.
Your Morgan County foundation estimated Bethany at only 95 residents in 2025 and originally recommended keeping it primarily within the county page unless city-level research found enough unique material.
The city-specific research supports only a limited standalone page.
Which Court Handles a Bethany Traffic Ticket?
Morgan County's official traffic structure uses Martinsville City Court and Mooresville Town Court for ordinary traffic violations. The correct assignment depends on the citation rather than where the driver lives.
Because Bethany is immediately associated with the Brooklyn/Mooresville portion of northern Morgan County, do not assume Martinsville City Court solely because the mailing address may say Martinsville.
Use the court printed on the citation and Indiana MyCase.
Martinsville City Court
Martinsville City Court 59 S. Jefferson Street Martinsville, IN 46151 Phone: 765-342-1259
Martinsville City Court hears infractions, misdemeanors, and ordinance violations.
Mooresville Town Court
Mooresville Town Court 4 E. Harrison Street Mooresville, IN 46158 Phone: 317-831-1330
The Town currently identifies Susan Leib as Town Judge.

Bethany Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
ABetterDriver.com offers an Indiana BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program.
The BMV DSP is separate from disposition of a pending Bethany traffic citation. An eligible driver can also voluntarily complete an approved DSP for Indiana's four-point credit, subject to the current once-every-three-years rule.
Completing the online DSP does not dismiss a traffic ticket.
Morgan County Traffic Infraction Deferral for a Bethany Ticket
Morgan County currently publishes four deferral fee categories:
12-month moving violation: $252.50
6-month moving violation: $192.50
6-month non-moving violation: $122
Seat-belt violation: $23
Current rules say drivers should not apply if they have a CDL or are under 18. The application also requires several additional representations concerning prior infractions, OWI, habitual traffic violator status, and other matters. Eligibility remains at the Prosecutor's sole discretion.
Do not pay the ticket before applying for deferral. The Prosecutor specifically instructs applicants not to send payment until approval.
ABetterDriver.com's online DSP is not automatically required for Morgan County deferral.
Driving in Bethany: Bethany Park and Old State Road 67
Bethany's old Town website identifies the community as located off Old State Road 67, with its internal road system centered on Bethany Park, Lake Drive, Lowe Road, and Crain/Tabernacle Court.
The site's road directions are old, so they should not be used for current turn-by-turn navigation.
The useful modern traffic point is that Bethany has an extremely small internal street network and connects quickly to the larger northern Morgan County road system.
Drivers should expect:
Residential roads
Short local streets
Curves and elevation changes
Immediate transition toward Old SR 67 and surrounding County roads
Very little commercial through traffic
Bethany and Brooklyn Are Closely Connected
Current County boundary information places Bethany directly along Brooklyn's town boundary.
That makes this road environment different from Martinsville's I-69 corridor and more closely related to Brooklyn and northern Morgan County.
