Boone County Infraction Deferral Program
Most traffic violations issued in Boone County qualify for a six-month deferral program. A deferral lets you keep the violation off your driving record if you complete the program requirements without receiving another citation during the deferral period. This is a real benefit for drivers who are concerned about how a ticket will affect their insurance or driving history.
To request a deferral, send an email to BCPOTRAFFIC@CO.BOONE.IN.US. Include your name, case or UTT number, and contact information. The Prosecutor's Office reviews deferral requests and will let you know if your ticket qualifies and what the deferral fee is. There is a cost to enter the program, and that fee is separate from the ticket fine.
If you complete the deferral period without any new violations, the original charge is dismissed. The infraction deferral page at boonecounty.in.gov explains the local program and what is expected of participants. Not every ticket type qualifies, and CDL holders or drivers with prior recent offenses may not be eligible.
Note: CDL holders are excluded from the Boone County deferral program statewide rules apply, so commercial drivers must pay or contest the ticket directly without deferral as an option.

Traffic Court Process in Boone County
When a citation is issued in Boone County, the case is filed in the Circuit or Superior Court and becomes an official public record. Traffic infractions are civil matters under Indiana Code Title 9. You can resolve a standard infraction by paying the fine and court costs before your hearing date. If you want to contest the charge, you must appear at the courthouse in Lebanon on the date and time on your ticket.
Traffic court proceedings in Indiana follow the civil infraction process set out in Indiana Code Title 34-28-5. An infraction is not a criminal offense. However, failure to pay or appear can result in a default judgment and eventual referral to the BMV for a license suspension. That outcome is avoidable if you act within the deadline on your ticket.
Boone County is a growing county with active courts. Traffic volume has risen along with the population. Cases generally move through the system without extended delays for standard infractions. More complex matters, or cases that are contested at trial, take longer. If you have a court date, arrive on time and be prepared to wait.

The Indiana BMV at www.in.gov/bmv maintains a separate driving record for each licensed driver. When a court reports a traffic conviction to the BMV, points are added to that record.

Check both the court record and your BMV record to get a full picture of your standing.
