Union City's municipal court is listed by the NJ Judiciary at 3715 Palisade Avenue and sits Monday through Thursday, with a mix of in-person and Zoom sessions. Union City is in Hudson County, so indictable charges go to the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office and the Superior Court in Jersey City.

Union City is not Union Township. Union City is in Hudson County, while Union Township is in Union County, and each has its own municipal court and county prosecutor. The city's court page asks you to check your mailed notice to see whether your session is in person or on Zoom. We take Union City cases from our only office, in Newark.
