Which court is mine?
This is the question the county answers with a map, and it is worth getting right before you drive anywhere.
Jurisdiction follows the location, not your address

A magisterial district court hears a matter based on where the incident occurred or where the property is located — so a Bensalem resident ticketed in Quakertown answers to the Quakertown court. Your citation, complaint, or hearing notice names the court and district number. If you need to check a location rather than a document, use the county's official jurisdiction map.

Common questions
Bucks County courts answers
How many magisterial district courts are in Bucks County? Bucks County has 18 magisterial district courts, sitting in 15 communities across the county. Bucks is Pennsylvania's 7th Judicial District, which is why every district number begins with 07.
Which district court will handle my case? Magisterial jurisdiction follows where the incident occurred or where the property is located — not where you live. Your citation, complaint, or notice names the court. To check a location, use the county's official magisterial district jurisdiction map.
What does a magisterial district judge handle? Magisterial district judges handle traffic citations, summary offences, preliminary hearings in criminal cases, landlord-tenant matters, and civil claims up to the statutory limit. Felonies and larger civil actions move up to the Court of Common Pleas.
Where do I look up a Bucks County court docket? Dockets are published by the state judiciary, not the county. Search the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System portal at ujsportal.pacourts.us for both magisterial district court and Court of Common Pleas cases.

This page is a routing layer and is not legal advice. For case-specific questions, contact the court named on your paperwork or a licensed attorney.
