The jurisdiction between Maumee Municipal Court and Sylvania Municipal Court is odd and hard to figure out sometimes. Here is a statement from the Sylvania Municipal court that tries to explain what they cover:
"The Sylvania Municipal Court's territorial jurisdiction covers the City of Sylvania; the villages of Berkey and Holland; the townships of Sylvania, Richfield, Spencer and Harding; and those portions of the townships of Swanton, Monclova and Springfield lying north of the Ohio Turnpike.
The Sylvania Municipal Court hears civil cases involving claims for the recovery of money damages up to $15,000. Its Criminal/Traffic jurisdiction brings to conclusions cases involving misdemeanors and conducts preliminary hearings in felony cases."
