It is each resident’s responsibility to comply with city ordinances. Often times, a permit must be obtained from the City of Berkeley Lake prior to any changes or improvements being made to property and dwellings. Failure to obtain required permits and/or failure to comply with city ordinances can unfortunately result in stop-work orders, revocation of existing permits/licenses, doubled fees, citations, municipal court summons, fines, imprisonment, and other remedies prescribed by law.

The City of Berkeley Lake Municipal Judge is appointed annually and is currently Judge Jan McKinney.

Judge McKinney hears court evidence on citations for violations of city ordinances once a quarter on the 2nd Wednesday of March, June, September and December. Other dates are scheduled as needed.  Check for court dates on the calendar by clicking "home" on the menu above.

Requests for information regarding previous court hearings should be directed to city hall in the form of a 'Open Records Request'. For more information please contact the City Clerk.
