Wellsburg Municipal Court Tickets

Traffic Tickets in Wellsburg

Wellsburg is the seat of Brooke County, where WV-2, WV-27, and WV-67 meet along the Ohio River. WV-27 heads east toward Pennsylvania, WV-67 heads toward Bethany, and since September 2023 the new Wellsburg Bridge has connected the city directly with Brilliant, Ohio.

The bridge brings Ohio drivers straight onto WV-2 in town, and they are ticketed here alongside local commuters.

Wellsburg Municipal Court hears tickets written by Wellsburg police for violations of the city’s ordinances. We have not listed an address or schedule for it because we could not confirm one from an official source; the citation names the court and your date.

Brooke County’s Courts in One Building

Tickets written anywhere in Brooke County by the State Police or the Brooke County Sheriff’s Office go to Brooke County Magistrate Court, which sits in the Brooke County Judicial Center on Main Street. The same building houses the circuit court, the family court, and the probation office, so it is easy to end up at the wrong window. Brooke County has two magistrates.

That includes tickets from Follansbee, Beech Bottom, Bethany, Windsor Heights, and the Brooke County side of Weirton when a trooper or deputy wrote them.
