How to Fight a Speeding Ticket in Rockland Town

Getting a speeding ticket in the town of Rockland is no laughing matter, not only are speeding tickets annoying, they could also be very costly.

Speeding tickets can add points to your license, increase your insurance, and have about $700 worth of fines.

The Town of Rockland lies in the Catskill Mountain range, in northern Sullivan County. The Rockland Mill Complex, which is still intact, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and includes three houses: the ice house, the proprietor’s house, and the tenant house. All structures were built in the mid-1800s. The area is served by both New York State Routes 17 and 209.

Court Tips and Tidbits

Mailing Address:
Rockland Town Court
PO Box 28
1939 Old Route 17
Roscoe, NY 12776

Court is in session every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. and every Thursday at 2:30 p.m. with alternating judges. Contact the court for more information.

Court tip: one of the worst things you can do is to ignore your ticket. Failure to Answer a ticket can result in a suspension of a driver's privilege to drive. If a driver is caught driving with a suspended license a police officer may arrest the driver and charge them in a criminal act.

Check-in: It is important that you check-in with the court clerk. Failure to notify the court clerk of your presence could lead to your case not being called.

Plea Info: If a driver enters a plea of not guilty, the court will send them a letter advising them to come to court. At this court appearance, the driver will be given the opportunity to present their strengths and weaknesses of their case. Generally, the first appearance is not your trial date, so coming prepared to argue the full case may be moot.
