The Kansas City, Kansas Municipal Court has announced upcoming adjustments. These changes affect its schedule and building hours. They will be effective Monday, February 3, 2025.
Beginning on that date, the morning docket will permanently start at 8:30 a.m. instead of 8:00 a.m. The change is designed to give residents more time to travel, park, and check in before proceedings begin.
“Changing the Municipal Court morning docket time to 8:30 AM will improve customer service,” said Administrative Judge Meaghan Shultz. “This time change will allow citizens time to complete other tasks such as school drop-off or checking in with work prior to the start of our docket.”
The Municipal Court emphasized that the later start time also improves alignment with other municipal courts in the region. It provides additional time for staff to safely prepare before sessions begin.
In addition, the Municipal Building at 701 N. 7th Street will open at 8:00 a.m. beginning February 3. Previously, the building opened at 7:30 a.m.
