Searching the Hollandale Court Docket
The city posts no public municipal docket search, citation form, calendar filter, payment portal, or copy-fee schedule. So start with the court name and number on your citation. Then take the question to City Hall. Staff there can route you to whoever keeps the record. Treat City Hall as a routing point, not a database. One caution: if the paper names Washington County Justice Court, call that court directly. Don't ask Hollandale to run a county docket search.
- Read the Hollandale citation or notice for the court, number, issuing agency, violation, and appearance date.
- Call Hollandale City Hall to ask whether the matter is kept in a Hollandale municipal register.
- Give the Hollandale office the citation or case number and ask how to confirm the current setting or request a copy.
- If Washington County Justice Court is printed on the ticket, call that court and ask which district owns it.
- For Circuit, County, or Chancery matters, use the correct clerk and PAMEC/MEC court path.
The official Washington County courts page lists the county's court families. It offers no Hollandale municipal docket interface.
Hollandale Municipal Building Courtroom
Hollandale City Hall and the J.W. Fore Municipal Building sit at 200 East Avenue South, Hollandale, Mississippi 38748. The city's official events listing points to the J.W. Fore Municipal Building courtroom, which is a helpful location clue for a Hollandale hearing. But it is only that. The listing does not show which Hollandale cases are set on a given date, and it builds no searchable calendar for the municipal court.
Hollandale City Hall and Municipal Building
200 East Avenue South
Hollandale, MS 38748
662-827-2241
Published weekday office hours: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The official Hollandale city site carries the office contact. Use the building reference to ask where a hearing is held. It cannot replace a court-issued date or docket entry.
Hollandale Municipal Court Basics
What the city puts forward is a City Clerk contact and a municipal-building courtroom reference, not a day-by-day court register or public portal. So frame any Hollandale municipal court question around the exact citation, the court name, and the record you want. Staff can then tell you whether the matter stays in Hollandale, whether a date can be confirmed, and how a certified copy is handled.
The Hollandale City Clerk page is an office-contact resource only. It holds no case register. The clerk handles city administration. A citation or court-date question still goes to the municipal court's record keeper.
Hollandale Court Directory Cross-Check
The 2023 Mississippi Judicial Directory lists Michael Prewitt for Hollandale Municipal Court at P.O. Box 395, Hollandale, Mississippi 38748, phone 662-827-2241, fax 662-827-5596. The 2025 directory did not repeat that Hollandale judge entry. Treat the older listing as a cross-check, not proof of who holds the seat now. City Hall can confirm the current judge. It can also confirm an active court date before you rely on any printed directory line.
That distinction keeps a Hollandale record accurate. A published annual directory gives you contacts. But it is not a live docket. It cannot reveal a moved, cancelled, or already-held setting.
Court Dates and Settings in Hollandale
Hollandale posts no public daily calendar. Your real date sources are the citation, any court notice, and direct confirmation from the court itself. City Hall's weekday hours are just a contact window. They do not set docket-call times. Nor do they prove court is in session when you show up. Ask whether a later notice or reset has replaced the earliest printed date.
| Date | The Hollandale appearance or hearing date printed on the citation or most recent court notice. |
|---|---|
| Time | The Hollandale time the court confirms; City Hall office hours do not supply it. |
| Courtroom | The J.W. Fore Municipal Building courtroom only when the court confirms that location for the setting. |
| Judge | The current Hollandale judge or presiding officer confirmed by the court, not inferred from an older directory. |
| Setting Type | The event type shown on the Hollandale citation, notice, or case record. |
Write down the Hollandale citation number and the latest instruction before calling. That gives staff what they need to check your current setting.
Hollandale Office Hours and Dockets
Hollandale publishes City Hall weekday hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Those hours tell you when to call or visit. That is all they do. They announce no hearing times, no calendar, and no deadline. Anyone who needs a Hollandale court date should call before appearing. The city offers no calendar feed, court-date filter, or page naming a recurring docket day.
An old printed notice may no longer control a current setting. When a citation is old, a payment is pending, or the date is murky, get confirmation from the clerk or the court. Do this before you act.
Traffic Tickets in Hollandale
Start with the ticket itself. It should name the court, the officer or agency, the citation number, the appearance date, and the alleged violation. Hollandale publishes no official citation search or online payment address. So the paper is your best record. Call Hollandale City Hall with those details in hand. Ask whether the matter belongs to Hollandale Municipal Court, whether the local record is public, and how the court prefers a date or copy request. A Hollandale traffic record lives with the court, not on a general city web page.
Two cautions matter here. City-office information cannot supply a payment option or deadline, because the court sets those. And if the ticket names a county court, route it to Justice Court. Skip the city.
Hollandale and County Traffic Courts
A Hollandale ticket can travel two roads, and the citation decides which. If it names Hollandale Municipal Court, start with the Hollandale city contact. If it names Washington County Justice Court, call 662-332-0633. Ask which of the three Justice Court districts owns the ticket. That court sits in Greenville. Its address is 905 W. Alexander Street. Where the traffic stop happened does not change the court printed on the citation.
| Record question | Hollandale route | County route |
|---|---|---|
| City citation or municipal setting | Hollandale City Hall and the municipal court custodian | Not the first route unless the citation names county court |
| County-issued traffic citation | Use Hollandale only for a local routing question | Justice Court at 662-332-0633 |
| State-court case | No municipal portal is documented | Correct clerk and PAMEC/MEC path |

Where Hollandale Cases Go
Some Hollandale municipal cases stay local. County traffic, civil, criminal, and higher-court matters may land in a Washington County court instead. Circuit and County Court filings go to the Washington County Circuit Clerk. Chancery records sit with the Chancery Clerk. A Hollandale address, officer, or party name does not settle ownership of the docket. Case type and procedural path decide it.

PAMEC, the Mississippi Electronic Courts system, offers remote access to participating state-court cases through an account. Whether Hollandale municipal cases are covered is not established, so confirm locally. The Washington County court docket maps the wider court family without replacing the local route.
Hollandale City Clerk and Dockets
Contacting the Hollandale City Clerk is not the same as opening a case register. The clerk page gives office contact details, nothing more. The city posts no docket search, case-number lookup, party search, date filter, or export tool. For a real Hollandale court record, start with one question. Who keeps the municipal register? Ask whether that office can confirm a hearing date, a case status, or provide a copy. Treat the clerk page as a phone directory, not an online case file.
The same line matters for requests. A city administrative record may follow a different process than a court docket or a certified court copy. Name the record you need and let the office identify the procedure.
Date questions work the same way. The J.W. Fore Municipal Building courtroom reference shows where a civic courtroom is mentioned, not whether a case is listed there. A case number or citation helps the custodian find the right register fast. Without it, expect questions. Staff may ask about the party name, the approximate date, the issuing agency, and the court printed on the paper.
For copies, ask whether the court offers a docket sheet, a plain copy, or a certified copy. Ask what the current charge is. The city posts no fee schedule. Do not send a record request through a general city channel and assume a court calendar or case image will come back.
Hollandale Court Record Access Rules
Hollandale court access starts with the right custodian. Have the citation or case number ready, plus the court name, party name if known, the approximate date, and the item you want. No municipal copy fee or request form is published. Ask the Hollandale court or city office for the current process. A city request never substitutes for the court's own rules on dockets, document images, certified copies, restricted records, or court dates.
Key rules:
Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983, Miss. Code Section 25-61-1 favors access to covered public-body records unless an exemption applies.
Miss. Code Section 25-61-7 addresses the allowed reasonable-cost structure for covered public-body copies.
Court records also follow judicial rules, statutes, local procedure, and MEC access rules where MEC applies.
Some doors stay shut. Youth cases, sealed files, protected identifiers, and restricted documents can limit any Hollandale or county search. An empty online result does not prove a case never existed or was dismissed. A missing public image does not either.
MEC procedures cover state-court records in a participating court. They allow public electronic viewing at the clerk's office during regular business hours, subject to court procedure and copy charges. That clerk-counter access does not turn the Hollandale municipal route into a free remote search. Ask the office holding the record which channel applies.
Hollandale Docket Search Context
Hollandale ranks third among incorporated places in Washington County in the official 2020 Census table, with 2,323 residents. That small scale points this page toward the civic-building route: City Hall contact and the plain fact that the city posts no public municipal portal. Population says nothing about a court calendar, a judge's schedule, or docket volume.
The Census incorporated-place table is the standard source for that 2020 ranking. It grounds the city profile while leaving court claims to the separate official city and county sources.
