Chesterfield requires special court treatment because the incorporated town lies in both Madison County and Delaware County.
That means a Chesterfield traffic ticket cannot automatically be treated as a Madison County case.
ABetterDriver.com offers an Indiana BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program for $28.95 statewide.
Which Court Handles a Chesterfield Traffic Ticket?
The answer depends on where the alleged violation occurred.
If the Ticket Is in Madison County
Madison County currently files stand-alone infractions in Anderson City Court or Elwood City Court depending on offense location.
Anderson City Court 1034 Main Street Anderson, IN 46018 765-648-6078
Elwood City Court 1505 S. B Street Elwood, IN 46036 765-552-2655.
Use the court printed on the citation.
If the Ticket Is in Delaware County
Muncie City Court has geographical jurisdiction throughout Delaware County, not merely inside Muncie, and handles state infractions.
Muncie City Court 300 N. High Street Muncie, IN 47305 Main: 765-747-4703 Infraction/ordinance clerk: 765-747-4831.
Muncie City Court directs drivers to Indiana MyCase for case information.
What to Do After Getting a Chesterfield Traffic Ticket
Determine whether the violation occurred in Madison County or Delaware County.
Check the court printed on the citation.
Search Indiana MyCase.
Check the response or appearance deadline.
Investigate the correct county's diversion or deferred-prosecution program before paying.
Do not apply Madison County rules to a Delaware County ticket.
Determine whether the BMV separately requires an online DSP.
Verify any court or Prosecutor course requirement before enrolling.
Chesterfield Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
The Indiana BMV-approved DSP rules are statewide, so the same BMV program applies whether a Chesterfield resident is on the Madison County or Delaware County side.
ABetterDriver.com currently offers the approved online DSP for $28.95.
Eligible Indiana drivers may voluntarily complete the DSP for a 4-point credit once every three years.
Diversion Depends on the County
Madison County Infraction Diversion
Madison County's standard infraction diversion lasts six months and currently costs $192.50. The Prosecutor excludes school-zone speeding, speeding 30 mph or more over, a diversion within the past year, CDL holders, work-zone violations and school-bus violations.
When educational programming is required, Madison County uses Advent eLearning programs at the deputy prosecutor's discretion.
Delaware County Deferred Prosecution
Delaware County has a different Deferred Prosecution Program for traffic infractions.
The County currently states that an agreement requires:
$192.50 in fee and court costs
A $50 online driver improvement course
No additional traffic offenses for six months
Successful participation keeps the infraction from being reported to the BMV, preventing points from being assessed.
Important: Do Not Substitute ABetterDriver Automatically
Delaware County specifies a $50 online driver improvement course as part of its program. ABetterDriver.com's BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program currently costs $28.95.
Do not assume ABetterDriver satisfies Delaware County's separate $50 course requirement unless the Delaware County Prosecutor confirms acceptance.
Driving in Chesterfield: SR 32, SR 67 and I-69
Chesterfield's official town site states that the town is adjacent to I-69 and that State Roads 32 and 67 flow through the town.
This creates a distinctive combination of interstate access and small-town streets.
Drivers should expect:
Higher-speed state-road traffic
Vehicles slowing to enter businesses and residential streets
I-69-bound traffic
Regional through traffic
Changes in posted speed entering town
Cross-County Driving
The Madison-Delaware county line passes through the incorporated town.
That county boundary normally makes little difference while simply driving, but it becomes critical after a citation because the court and diversion process can change depending on the exact location.
Chesterfield Golf-Cart Rules
Chesterfield adopted a new Alternative Transportation/Golf Cart Ordinance, effective September 1, 2025.
Drivers should expect properly authorized golf carts to be part of the local road-user mix and should follow current Town signage and Police guidance.
Chesterfield Police Department
The Town maintains its own Police Department, while Town Hall is located at the municipal complex and can be reached at 765-378-3331.
A Chesterfield Police citation still needs to be checked for the county and court assignment.
BMV Services Near Chesterfield
The Anderson BMV branch at 4330 S. Scatterfield Road serves Madison County, but Indiana drivers are not restricted to using a branch in the county where a citation occurred.
No BMV visit is required merely to complete ABetterDriver.com's online DSP.
