The mission of The Colony Municipal Court of Record is to serve all citizens in a courteous, efficient and professional manner. The court is dedicated to principles of fair and impartial justice administered with respect and equality. We are responsible for the prompt, accurate processing of Class C misdemeanor charges and collections of fines.
