How to Search the Lebo Court Docket
Lebo posts no official public docket, calendar, or payment portal. So the citation and City Hall are the first channels to try. A state district case works differently. Use Kansas CaseSearch or the Coffey County courthouse only when the record belongs to the Kansas District Court.
- Read the court name, case or citation number, and appearance terms on the notice.
- Call Lebo City Hall and ask for the municipal court clerk or records custodian.
- Provide the number, date, record type, and preferred copy or inspection method.
- If the notice names Coffey County District Court, use Kansas CaseSearch or the district clerk.
- Confirm the current date with the clerk before appearing or sending payment.
A police contact is no substitute for the office that keeps the Lebo court record. The city routes all public business through City Hall.
Lebo Court Access by the Numbers
Lebo is Coffey County's second-largest incorporated city in the July 1, 2026 state certification, counting 918 residents. The 2020 county figure was 885. In a city this small, court access runs through staff rather than a vendor database. City Hall is the public interface for records.
No online portal does not mean no municipal court. The city's official material lists a Municipal Court item. That backs the local route, and City Hall holds the live details.
The Lebo Municipal Court
Lebo's municipal court handles city ordinance matters under Kansas municipal-court law. The city's pages name no separate municipal judge or court clerk. They post no regular session calendar and offer no municipal fee schedule. Confirm those details rather than guessing. The official City of Lebo site is the starting point. It shows current city services.
The city site confirms the official local channel. The district court is a separate state judiciary office in Burlington. So a state portal result is not a Lebo municipal docket result.
Lebo Court Records Start at City Hall
Lebo City Hall sits at 9 E. 4th Street, Lebo, KS 66856. Mail goes to P.O. Box 14. The city posts (620) 256-6622 and weekday hours from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Current public material names Catherine Griffin as City Clerk. For a city citation, docket entry, court date, or filed outcome, ask for the municipal court. Ask for the records custodian too. The official Lebo City Hall page states that all public business with the city is conducted there. It also describes the public-record request route.
This central counter is the strongest local access point. It plays a different role than the Coffey County District Court clerk.
Lebo Court Dates and Settings
Lebo posts no public municipal calendar. So the date on a citation or court notice is the first reference. Call City Hall to ask for the municipal court contact. Verify the setting and check for a reset. A county judge calendar should not be used for a city matter. It only fits once the case has moved to district court.
| Date | The appearance or hearing date printed on the Lebo notice and confirmed by the clerk. |
|---|---|
| Time | The municipal court time supplied by the city contact. |
| Court | Lebo Municipal Court or Coffey County District Court, as the record states. |
| Case number | The city citation number or a district format such as illustrative CF-2024-TR-000123. |
| Setting type | Appearance, plea, status, trial, or another label used by the court. |
For a district case, treat the Fourth Judicial District calendar PDF as a reference only, and call (620) 364-8628 for a recent change. For a Lebo municipal setting, City Hall supplies the local confirmation route.
Lebo Municipal Court in City Records
An official September 2025 city PDF listed a Municipal Court item. That is evidence of the municipal function, not a searchable docket or calendar. Council material documents city administration. It does not show the private status, filing history, or outcome of a particular case. Keep a Lebo records search precise: ask City Hall for the court record itself. Use meeting material only to understand city action that is lawfully public. A city council record and a Lebo municipal case record are separate public-record categories. They stay separate even when both are held through City Hall.
Lebo Traffic Tickets
A Lebo city citation should identify the municipal court and its response terms. The city offers no online payment page. Call City Hall before paying or contesting. Staff can then give the right court contact, accepted method, amount, and current date. Do not assume a local online fee, processing period, or payment vendor. A state citation naming Coffey County District Court can use Kansas CaseSearch. It can also use the KSCourts Central Payment Center. That statewide payment search asks for a citation or case number and date of birth. It is not proof of a Lebo city docket. The venue and payment distinctions appear in Coffey County traffic court records.
Lebo Court Record KORA Requests
The Lebo City Hall page says council packets and other public records are available under the Kansas Open Records Act, and that requests must go to City Hall. For a municipal record, identify the citation or case number, the relevant date, and the exact document. Say whether you want inspection, a plain copy, or a certified copy.
| Request detail | What to provide | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Case identity | Citation or municipal case number | Separates the case from other city records |
| Date | Violation, filing, or court date | Narrows the search |
| Document | Notice, docket entry, order, or disposition | Defines the requested record |
| Copy choice | Inspect, plain copy, or certified copy | Lets staff quote the right fee |
| Delivery | Pickup, mail, or available electronic method | Clarifies fulfillment |
The city's official page offers no municipal form, fee, or filing deadline. Ask the office for a cost estimate and its current steps.
Where Lebo Cases End Up
A Lebo ordinance case starts in municipal court. State matters take a different path. Criminal, civil, probate, family, and district traffic cases go to Coffey County District Court even when they began in Lebo. An appeal adds a new district case number, and the original Lebo file stays at City Hall.
Docket flow: Lebo Municipal Court › Coffey County District Court › Kansas appellate courts
Under K.S.A. 22-3609, a municipal appeal to district court generally must be filed within 14 days after sentence. Keep both case numbers if that happens. The Coffey County court docket covers the district side at county depth, while Lebo City Hall stays the first stop for the original municipal file.
Lebo Police and Court Records Differ
City Hall lists a non-emergency law-enforcement number, (620) 256-6405, and notes that its part-time officers keep no set office hours. That line suits policing questions or an incident report. It is not the Lebo court-record desk. Whether a citation becomes a court matter depends on the venue printed on it.
| Question | First contact | Record sought |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal date or case status | Lebo City Hall/court contact | Municipal docket |
| City public copy | City Hall records custodian | Specific city court document |
| Police non-emergency matter | Published law-enforcement contact | Police service, not court disposition |
| State case | Coffey County District Court clerk | District docket or filing |
Splitting the request by office keeps things clean. That way you never ask an officer to explain a court date or the district clerk for a city file.
Public Access to Lebo Court Records
Access depends on the record and who holds it. Lebo City Hall runs the city's request route. Kansas Supreme Court Rule 22 governs public electronic access to state district records, not the Lebo municipal docket. Sealed, expunged, juvenile, and other protected material stays closed.
Key rules:
K.S.A. 12-4104 assigns city ordinance jurisdiction to municipal court.
K.S.A. 45-220 addresses public-record custodians and access procedures.
K.S.A. 45-221 addresses exemptions and separation of open from closed information.
A blank result in Kansas CaseSearch does not open a closed record, and it does not prove no Lebo municipal matter exists. Ask the office that actually keeps the file.
Lebo Court Docket County Fallback
A notice naming Coffey County District Court sends Lebo residents to the state route. That route runs through Burlington. Options there include CaseSearch, the public terminal, or the Clerk of the District Court at 110 S. 6th Street, Suite 102, Burlington, KS 66839. Call (620) 364-8628. Posted hours run weekdays. They span 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
The Kansas court KORA form targets a specific District Court document. It is not Lebo's city form. Pick Coffey County District Court only when that court truly holds the case or the appeal. This check matters. No single portal merges the Lebo municipal docket with the state district docket.
Lebo Docket Request Checklist
Before calling City Hall, gather your facts. Get the Lebo citation or case number, the court name, the date on the notice, and the exact record you need. Ask which municipal clerk handles the file. Then ask whether the setting changed, and whether inspection or a plain or certified copy is available. Request a fee estimate, since the city publishes no court fee schedule. Staff may point you to Coffey County District Court. If so, switch to the district route instead of repeating the city request. Write down the correct office and any new case number. That handoff beats hunting through unrelated state payment pages for a Lebo municipal record.
Lebo Court Docket Terms
In Lebo, "municipal" means the city court route. The citation itself names the court that holds the record. A payment is a single event. A disposition is the court's filed result. A setting marks a scheduled date, not proof the hearing happened. A reset moves the date but dismisses nothing.
A Lebo address never turns a state case into a city case either. The municipal custodian controls the city file. The Coffey County district clerk controls the state file. A Lebo appeal can create a district docket. Keep the city number and the new district number together. Each clerk can then find the part of the Lebo court history that office holds.
