Chapter 2. Judge's Powers and Jurisdiction
33-35-2-6. City Courts in Third Class Cities That Are Not County Seats; Civil Jurisdiction; Limitations

Sec. 6. A city court in a third class city that is not a county seat and to which section 5 of this chapter does not apply has concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court in civil cases in which the amount in controversy does not exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000). However, the city court does not have:
(1) jurisdiction in actions for:
(A) slander;
(B) libel;
(C) foreclosure of mortgages on real estate, in which the title to real estate is in issue;
(D) all matters relating to a decedent's estate, appointment of guardians and all related matters; and
(E) actions in equity; and
(2) original jurisdiction in which the principal defendant resides within another city having a city court with a civil jurisdiction.
Judgments rendered in the city court, when a certified transcript is filed with the clerk of the circuit court, have the same force as judgments rendered in the circuit court.
