How to Search Grant County Traffic Records
Indiana's free MyCase portal is the primary online tool for searching Grant County traffic ticket records. You can search by name or by the UTT number printed on your citation. MyCase shows the case status, the charge, any scheduled court dates, and whether fines have been paid. Grant County traffic cases usually appear in MyCase within a few days of being filed with the clerk in Marion.
Using the UTT number from your citation is the fastest way to find your exact record without sorting through name-based results. If you do not have the number, a name search will still work. Just be prepared to sort through results if your name is common. Once you find your case, MyCase shows you exactly what was filed and what still needs to happen before the case closes.
Calling the clerk's office at (765) 668-8121 is another option, especially if you have questions about your case that the online portal does not answer clearly. Staff can tell you the fine amount, your court date, and whether there are any outstanding issues with your case.

Paying Traffic Fines in Grant County
Grant County traffic fines can be paid online through the Indiana courts payment portal. You will need your case number to make an online payment. A processing fee is added for card transactions, and this fee is separate from the fine and court costs. The base fine on your citation does not include the court costs assessed when the case is filed with the clerk. Make sure you understand the total amount due before assuming you have fully paid.
In-person payments at the Marion courthouse are available during regular office hours. The clerk accepts cash, money orders, and credit cards. If you are mailing a payment, use a money order or cashier's check made out to the Grant County Clerk. Write your case number on the payment clearly. Mail it to the clerk's office at the Grant County Courthouse in Marion, Indiana.
Failure to pay or appear can lead to a default judgment and a possible BMV license suspension. Acting before your deadline is always the right move. If you are facing financial hardship, contact the clerk's office to ask about payment arrangements or other options.
Note: Online payments may take one to two business days to be reflected in the MyCase portal after processing.
