What Affects Rates in Ann Arbor

  • Ann Arbor traffic citations are processed through 15th District Court at 301 E. Huron Street. Misdemeanor FTA holds typically generate bench warrants; infraction FTA holds create administrative suspensions without warrants. Call the court clerk at 734-794-6750 to confirm warrant status before appearing in person.
  • Many FTA suspensions stem from citations issued on US-23 through Pittsfield Township or I-94 near the State Street interchange. Drivers stopped on these corridors often receive notices to appear at 15th District but miss dates due to out-of-county residence. A suspended license discovered during a subsequent stop adds a driving-while-suspended charge.
  • Ann Arbor's student population creates high citation volume September through April, with FTA holds spiking in summer when students leave without resolving spring tickets. Out-of-state students returning home frequently miss court dates, and Michigan Secretary of State sends suspension notices to outdated addresses.
  • After the court releases the FTA hold, the 15th District clerk submits clearance to Michigan Secretary of State electronically. Reinstatement processing takes 2-3 business days. Ann Arbor's Secretary of State branch at 2840 Jackson Avenue processes in-person reinstatements, but the $125 fee and proof of insurance are required before the license is restored.
