The City of Newport Municipal Court is responsible for the processing of citations and complaints issued by the Newport Police, the City Attorney, and by private citizens within the City of Newport. The majority of cases heard in Municipal Court are traffic infractions.

The Municipal Court staff can answer questions about court schedule, bail amounts, and other administrative matters but cannot give legal advice. If you need legal advice, you should consult an attorney. For help finding an attorney, call the Oregon State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service at (503) 620-0333 or refer to your local Yellow Pages.
