Boaz, Alabama, in Marshall County, has about 10,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A traffic ticket written in Boaz is a court case in the District Court; a city with a municipal court tries its own, and the conviction it ends in goes on the driving record kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. This guide says which court takes the ticket, who writes them and where the driving record lives.
This guide covers where tickets go, who writes them, the driving record and common questions.

Where a Ticket Written in Boaz Goes

Who Writes the Tickets in Boaz
The Marshall County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Boaz (filed by the FBI as Boaz Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Boaz.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Marshall County: Marshall County Drug Enforcement Unit (other agency); Snead State Community College (campus police).
The Sardis City Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Marshall County, so its arrests are not broken out for Marshall County here.
The Driving Record and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before ALEA (see Boaz DUI).
