52-4 District Court - Troy Traffic Records
The 52-4 District Court handles all traffic ticket cases for Troy. The courthouse is at 520 W Big Beaver Road in Troy, MI 48084. When you receive a traffic citation in Troy, the case is filed here. This is where you go to pay a fine, request a hearing, or obtain copies of a traffic record. The court's location on Big Beaver Road puts it at the center of one of Michigan's most active commercial zones.
Traffic enforcement in Troy targets several high-volume roads. I-75 runs through the city and is a major corridor for speed enforcement. Big Beaver Road (16 Mile) sees heavy traffic from the business district and shopping centers. Rochester Road carries significant daily volume from residential and commercial areas to the north. Under MCL 257.907, civil infractions are resolved by admission, admission with explanation, or at a formal or informal hearing. All outcomes are documented in court records kept by the 52-4 District Court.
The 52-4 District Court's website at 52-4districtcourt.org has information on case lookup, forms, and court procedures. You can call the court at (248) 528-0400 for specific case questions. Record requests are accepted in person or by mail. Copy fees vary based on whether you need plain or certified copies. Staff can search by name or case number and typically process in-person requests the same day.
Note that the 52-4 District Court shares an address with the 52-1 District Court. Both courts serve different communities but operate from the same building at 520 W Big Beaver Road. If you are looking for a Troy case, confirm you are requesting records from the 52-4 specifically, not the 52-1, which serves Rochester Hills and Rochester.

Search Troy Traffic Records Online
Troy is in Oakland County, which gives you two separate online tools to search traffic ticket records. The first is MiCOURT, Michigan's statewide case search system. MiCOURT is free, requires no account, and lets you search by name or case number. Results show charges, hearing dates, case status, and dispositions for cases at the 52-4 District Court.
Oakland County also provides its own case search tool, Court Explorer, available through the Oakland County government website. Court Explorer is specific to Oakland County courts and provides case details for cases in Troy and other Oakland County communities. It is a good complement to MiCOURT if you want to cross-check results or find additional case detail. Both tools are free to use.
MiCOURT, shown above, covers courts statewide and is often the first tool people use. Court Explorer is Oakland County-specific and may show different detail levels. For certified copies or full case file documents, contact the 52-4 District Court directly at (248) 528-0400. Online tools show public case data only and do not replace an official records request.
Points and Your Driving Record
Traffic convictions from Troy cases add points to your Michigan driving record under MCL 257.320. Points are added when you are convicted or when you fail to respond to a civil infraction notice. The point value depends on the offense. Speeding 6-10 mph over the limit is 2 points. Speeding 11-15 mph over is 3 points. Speeding 16 or more mph over is 4 points. Reckless driving is 6 points.
Michigan tracks points over a two-year period. At 12 or more points, the Secretary of State can schedule a reexamination. That hearing may lead to restricted driving or a license suspension. Points do not reset at 12 months. The full two-year window applies. Given Troy's heavy enforcement on I-75 and the Big Beaver corridor, tickets issued in the city can carry meaningful point values that accumulate quickly if you have prior violations.
Your driving record is maintained by the Michigan Secretary of State, not the 52-4 District Court. Order a copy of your driving abstract online through ExpressSOS or visit an SOS branch office. A conviction at the 52-4 flows automatically into the SOS system. Checking your abstract before a hearing at the 52-4 gives you a clear picture of your current point standing and helps you decide whether to contest a ticket or accept the violation.
Some violations on Troy's roads carry extra consequences. Driving with a suspended license or operating while intoxicated are criminal offenses, not civil infractions. Those cases are handled differently at the 52-4 and show on your record in ways that go beyond points. If you are facing a criminal traffic charge rather than a standard infraction, speaking with an attorney before your court date is the right move.
Getting Copies of Troy Traffic Records
To get copies of traffic records from Troy cases, contact the 52-4 District Court clerk. In-person requests are the fastest option. Staff can search by name or case number and provide copies the same day in most cases. Bring the full name on the citation, the date of the offense, and the case number if you have it. Plain copies and certified copies are available; certified copies cost more and are needed for legal proceedings or insurance disputes.
Mail requests are also accepted. Write to the 52-4 District Court at 520 W Big Beaver Road, Troy, MI 48084. Include all relevant case details and a check or money order for the applicable fee. Call (248) 528-0400 before sending payment if you are unsure of the current copy fee. Mail processing times depend on court volume and may take longer than an in-person visit.
If you need your full driving record rather than a specific court case file, use the BDVR-154 form from the Secretary of State. Under MCL 257.208c, Michigan residents can request their own driving abstract. The ExpressSOS portal is the easiest online option. The SOS abstract and the 52-4 court record together give you the most complete view of any Troy traffic case and its effect on your driving history.
