Town Court
The Avon Town Court was established in 2000 to facilitate judicial proceedings for infractions and ordinance violations in Avon and Hendricks County. The presiding judge over the Avon Town Court is Judge Jeremy Eglen.
Payment Deadline & Extension
If you have received a citation and you have been slated through the Avon Town Court, you have 30 days to pay your fine. You may apply for one extension with court staff, however your extension request must be submitted on or before the 30-day timeline of receiving the citation by law enforcement. Applicants may only receive one extension, which provides 30 additional days to make payment. The form to request an extension can be found in the lobby of the Avon Police Department and Avon Town Court, or you can download a copy here. Extension requests must be completed by the individual who received the citation and must be submitted during normal business hours with the Avon Town Court. Copies of the Avon Town Court waiver slip can be found here.
Payment
Please note that the Avon Town Court does not accept cash payments or personal/business checks. Accepted forms of payments include credit/debit card, money order, or cashier's checks only. Payments made by credit/debit card will include a $3 processing fee. Payments cannot be taken over the phone or online at this time. There is a $25 late fee added to all citations after 30 days.
