Which Court Handles an Osceola Traffic Ticket?

The town's ordinance page specifically lists an ordinance repealing the chapter that had established a Joint Municipal Court, supporting treatment of ordinary current IF cases through the St. Joseph County court system.
For ordinary IF citations:
St. Joseph Superior Court Traffic and Misdemeanor Division Traffic Clerks: 112 S. Lafayette Boulevard, 2nd Floor South Bend, IN 46601
Use the citation and MyCase for your individual case.
Osceola's Town-Limit Address Distinction
The town publishes a useful local jurisdiction rule of thumb:
3- and 4-digit street numbers are within Osceola town limits.
5-digit addresses are outside town jurisdiction and are treated as St. Joseph County jurisdiction.
This matters when determining whether a property or incident is within Osceola municipal jurisdiction.
It does not replace the citation's actual legal location for a traffic case.
