If I received a DUI In a county different than the one in which I live, can I have my community service transferred to my county of residence?

Also, on my ticket there isn’t the exact BAC of what I blew that evening. Does it matter if its not on my ticket?

First, the Citation is not required to have the BAC level written on it.  It is your notice to appear in Court.  That information will be there waiting.  It sounds as if you have not even been to court yet to deal with the ticket but are already anticipating conviction and community service.  I would speak with an attorney about the matter before you jump to this step but generally speaking, yes, you can do your community service in the county in which you live.  Just make sure that your lawyer is aware that you want this should the time come.
