Windfall drivers with a traffic ticket should use Tipton County's current court system rather than looking for a Windfall Town Court.
The current Indiana court system lists Tipton Circuit Court as active. Windfall does not have a separately listed active town court in the current state system.
Windfall also has unusually specific local traffic ordinances for a town of its size, including townwide 20 mph rules, heavy-truck restrictions, commercial-delivery restrictions, parking rules, and golf-cart regulations.

Tipton County Traffic Deferral for a Windfall Ticket
Windfall citations filed as Tipton County infractions can potentially qualify for the Tipton County Prosecutor's Traffic Deferral/Judgment Withheld Program.
Current published eligibility rules include no pointable traffic violation during the prior year, no major driving offense during the prior five years, and no qualifying recent prior diversion or judgment withheld.
Do not pay first if you plan to seek deferral. Tipton County expressly states that payment makes the driver ineligible.
Driving in Windfall: S.R. 213 and Local 20 MPH Streets
State Road 213 Through Windfall
Tipton County government identifies Windfall as located along Indiana State Road 213.
Inside town, the road is identified locally as Independence Street. Windfall's current golf-cart ordinance specifically refers to S.R. 213/Independence.
This matters because local low-speed vehicle rules differ on the state highway from ordinary town streets.
Windfall's 20 MPH Local Speed Rule
Windfall's current published traffic code establishes a maximum speed of 20 mph in portions of town outside business districts and school zones. It also establishes 20 mph limits in designated business and school-zone areas.
Drivers entering Windfall from higher-speed rural roads should therefore pay close attention to the transition into the town's posted lower-speed environment.
Heavy Trucks on Cemetery, College and McClellan Streets
Windfall's current code prohibits trucks and motor vehicles with a gross weight of eight tons or more from traveling or parking on Cemetery Street, College Street, and McClellan Street, subject to stated exceptions for emergency, utility, municipal, and certain direct-delivery vehicles.
This is a genuine local rule and should not be copied onto another Tipton County municipality's page.
Commercial Deliveries on Sycamore, King and Poplar Streets
A 2024 Windfall ordinance prohibits commercial vehicles making local deliveries from using Sycamore, King, and Poplar Streets. The ordinance was adopted after the Town Council identified problems involving commercial vehicles leaving the roadway and entering private yards.
The published maximum penalty is $250.
Windfall Parking Restrictions
Windfall's parking schedule includes specific no-parking areas, including an overnight restriction on Lion's Parkway from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and restrictions affecting portions of McClellan Street, Posey Street, and S.R. 213.
Drivers should rely on posted signs and the current official town code before parking.
Golf Carts in Windfall
Windfall permits golf carts on town streets subject to its local ordinance, but the rule has important limits.
The current code prohibits golf carts on sidewalks, grass rights-of-way, town parks except during approved festivals, and state highways within town, specifically S.R. 213/Independence. A golf cart may cross a state highway at a marked intersection at approximately a right angle.
Operators must be at least 16 and possess a valid operator's license.
