Piute County Civil Docket Searches
Utah Courts Xchange is the public doorway to Piute District and Justice Court case information. Pick District Court for ordinary civil matters. Probate, domestic, property, contract, debt, injury, water, lien, and foreclosure belong there too. Pick Justice Court for small claims. A case number works best. You can also type a surname or business name into Last name/Company, then narrow with a first name and a filing-date range.
There is no separate Piute County portal here. Xchange is the statewide layer fed by local CORIS entries. Case-type codes keep CN civil, EV eviction, PR probate, and SC small claims results apart. Each search click is billable. Settle jurisdiction, county scope, spelling, and the date panel before you click. Parties to eligible matters can pull their own history and papers through the free MyCourtCase route instead.
- Open Xchange and select District Court or Justice Court.
- Search by case number, or enter a person or business in the party fields.
- Narrow by Piute County, case type, and filing or judgment dates.
- Open Case History/Documents and verify parties, filings, orders, and settings.
- Request a certified judgment from the Junction clerk when needed.
Piute County Civil Docket Courts
Court level matters from the start. Sixth District Court, Piute County takes ordinary civil matters. It also hears anything outside the limited power of a Justice Court. Small claims belong to Piute County Justice Court. That court holds territorial jurisdiction over them. Utah's current small-claims ceiling is $20,000. If an older case-type table shows an earlier ceiling, trust current Utah court guidance instead.
| Route | Piute civil matters |
|---|---|
| Sixth District Court | General civil, domestic, probate, property, contract, and injury matters |
| Piute Justice Court | Small claims within current subject and territorial limits |
A District clerk can reject a small-claims filing that belongs in Justice Court. Before you file or drive anywhere, confirm venue with the Junction clerk.
Piute County Civil Docket Types
The official Xchange case-type page lists the statewide codes that narrow Piute County civil docket searches.
Knowing the code list separates general civil, eviction, probate, domestic, and small-claims results before a paid case opens.
Civil Dockets: What They Show
A public Piute County case history tells you plenty at a glance. It names the county and court. Case type, case number, filing date, style, assigned judge, parties, and attorneys appear too. Proceedings then track complaints or petitions, service, and answers. Motions, notices, orders, settings, judgments, and later enforcement events follow. Remember, the history is only an index of court action. It is not the full case file. Not every exhibit or restricted paper shows up online.
| Case Number | A Utah file key tied to its court location. |
|---|---|
| Parties | Plaintiff, petitioner, defendant, respondent, other roles, and attorneys. |
| Filings | Complaint, petition, service, answer, motion, notice, and order events. |
| Settings | Conference, hearing, and trial entries, including dates later reset. |
| Judgment | Judgment, dismissal, transfer, appeal, or other dated result. |
Piute County Civil Docket Party Codes
Party labels stop a common reading mistake. PLA is plaintiff and DEF is defendant. PET means petitioner and RES means respondent. Probate matters can add a personal representative, heir, trustee, conservator, or guardian. Garnishment adds a garnishee, and an intervenor joins an existing case rather than starting one.
PLA / DEF Plaintiff and defendant. PET / RES Petitioner and respondent. ATT Attorney shown for a party.
Read the role beside each name rather than treating everyone listed as a claimant. The official party-code table supplies current definitions.
What Cases Fill the Civil Docket
Civil dockets in Piute County span general civil disputes, debt and contract claims, property and water matters, personal injury, eviction, foreclosure, liens, probate, and public parts of domestic or protective-order matters. Justice Court adds small claims. The case-type code sorts the category before you open a billed result.
- Contract, debt, and general civil claims
- Personal injury and other tort claims
- Property, water, lien, and foreclosure cases
- Public parts of domestic relations cases
- Probate in District Court and small claims in Justice Court
Piute County Civil Docket Motions
A filed motion asks the court to act, nothing more. It does not show the judge granted the request. Look further down the Piute County civil court docket for an order, minute entry, or judgment. Treat a notice of setting as a planned date that a continuance can later replace.
Read entries in order and pair related events. A complaint may bring service and an answer behind it. A motion is different. It may draw opposition, a hearing, and an order. At the end, tell apart an agreed judgment, default, summary judgment, trial judgment, voluntary dismissal, and dismissal for lack of prosecution.
Hearings on the Civil Docket
A proceeding entry might point to a conference, motion hearing, pretrial event, or trial setting. Check it against Utah Court Calendars, since old settings linger in history after a reset. Search Junction District Court or Piute Justice Court. Then verify the party, case number, date, time, judge, and hearing type.
The calendar refreshes on weekdays at 5:30 a.m. A same-day change can still slip through. Confirm directly. Call 435-577-2840 before trusting a date or heading to Junction. The county says court appearances happen by schedule only. The Piute County court schedule lays out the full calendar route.
Piute County Civil Docket After Judgment
Civil docket work rarely stops at judgment. An abstract may record the judgment for enforcement. A lien or garnishment can follow, and a satisfaction may later show payment. Renewal, appeal, transfer, consolidation, or remand each add their own proceedings. So a closed label does not always mean the story ends there.
An Xchange event is not a certified judgment. Public images can be bought where available. Only the clerk issues an official certified copy. Identify the court, case number, record, date range, and delivery choice in your request. You may ask to inspect without a copy. Copies, research, certification, and exemplification may carry fees.
Who Can See Civil Dockets
Who gets to look at a Piute County civil docket? More than you might think. Utah keeps certain case types private, including domestic, guardianship, conservatorship, custody, support, and stalking matters. Adoption files and civil commitment cases are sealed as well. Even so, the docket history often stays public. Minute entries, judgments, decrees, and letters of appointment can remain open. A judge must sign an order to make them private.
When Xchange comes up short, try other routes. Free courthouse access is available where offered, and the shared clerk will take a call. You can also visit the counter after confirming access. Or mail the Utah Request for a Record form. Rule 4-202.03 governs who may inspect restricted material. If a request gets denied, Rule 4-202.04 lays out the written request and review path that follows.
Key Rules:
Utah Rule 4-202.02 classifies court records.
Utah Rule 4-202.03 governs access and identity checks.
Utah Rule 4-202.04 sets request and denial review steps.
Piute County Civil Docket Requests
Think of a Piute County civil docket as the index. The complaint, answer, order, or judgment sits behind it as an actual document. Xchange may not show the image you need. Then call 435-577-2840 or send the Utah Request for a Record form to the clerk in Junction. Be specific. Give the court, the case number, the exact document, and the date range. Also say whether you want to inspect it in person or have it delivered.
The courthouse sits at 550 North Main, Junction, Utah 84740. Mail goes to P.O. Box 99. Court appearances run on a schedule only, so call ahead before going in person. You can request to inspect a record without buying a copy at all. Copies on paper, clerk research, certification, and exemplification may each carry fees. The fees fall under Utah Rule 4-202.08. The Xchange entry or image may not be enough for your purpose. A certified copy is what holds up.
