Perry Court Docket Searches
Start at Utah Courts Xchange. Use the exact case or citation number if you have one. No number? Combine a party or company name with case type, filing date, county, and court scope. A Perry address may show up somewhere in the results. Still, the court location field tells you which court keeps that docket.
- Read the court and number from the Perry-related paper.
- Search the exact number in Xchange with broad scope.
- For small claims, test Box Elder County Justice Court.
- For broad civil or serious criminal cases, test First District Court.
- Compare the latest history entry with the Utah calendar.
- Contact the listed clerk for a copy or unresolved setting.
Xchange charges a fee unless you use a free courthouse terminal. People with their own cases can use MyCase once the account checks clear. Anyone can also call or visit the court that holds the record. Or send Utah's official record form. Searching by court and case number beats searching by city name alone.
Perry City Hall Is Not Court
The official Perry City site offers municipal context but no court docket. The county calendar lists Perry City Hall at 1950 South Highway 89, with phone 435-723-6461. Those are civic details. City Hall does not keep state court records. The city posts no Justice Court docket, payment page, judge page, or municipal court schedule.
Venue check: A Perry address does not identify the clerk. Use the court name printed on the citation, complaint, judgment, or Xchange result.
The distinction matters for certified copies. City staff might point you in the right direction, but only the court that entered the filing can certify the record. Confirm the venue before you mail a request or drive to a counter.
Inside the Perry Municipal Court
Perry has no stand-alone municipal court of its own. Utah's official small-claims guide names Box Elder County Justice Court for Perry filings. Read any traffic or ordinance paper for the court that issued it. The First District Court clerk holds District-level records. Those cover civil, domestic, probate, felony, and Class A misdemeanor cases. Justice Court generally handles Class B and C misdemeanors, infractions, traffic, and small claims within its jurisdiction. District Court holds general trial jurisdiction. These labels describe court power, not distance. The right venue may sit in Brigham City. Even so, the parties and events are tied to Perry.
Perry Small Claims Handoff
The Utah small-claims guide sends Perry small claims straight to Box Elder County Justice Court. That is the clearest Perry-specific routing there is. Start with the county Justice scope. Then search by party or company name and an approximate filing date. Confirm the location and case number before you trust the match.
A Perry address or transaction alone does not set legal venue. Follow the filed case and its court-location field. If the dispute outgrows Justice Court scope or fits another case family, search District Court instead.
Finding Perry Court Dates
Perry posts no city judicial calendar. Use the statewide Utah calendar and pick the court named in Xchange. Search by case number first. Then narrow with party, judge, attorney, bar number, date, and location fields. City council and municipal event calendars do not carry court settings.
| Date | The current setting date at the named court. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed call time, subject to a later order. |
| Location | The Justice or District venue, not simply Perry. |
| Judge | The officer assigned on the official calendar. |
| Setting Type | The hearing stage, such as pretrial, trial, or review. |
Check the calendar against the newest docket setting, since a reset can leave an older event sitting in the history. If the two disagree, call the named court before you show up.
Three Perry Search Routes
Perry records fall into three useful search routes, and the document and case type tell you which one fits. Sorting them this way keeps a broad name search from mixing county, municipal, and District matters into one pile.
| Perry matter | First search scope | Key field |
|---|---|---|
| Small claim | Box Elder County Justice Court | Party and filing date |
| Traffic citation | Court printed on citation | Citation number |
| District civil or family case | First District Court | Case number or civil code |
A record with a private domestic or probate component may come back limited in public view. Describe only the public status, and use the clerk's request process for authorized access.
Perry Traffic Ticket Lookups
A Perry traffic stop does not name the court. Neither does a Perry street address. Read the printed court name, response deadline, and citation number instead. Search that number in Xchange. Check the court location, and confirm any appearance on the statewide calendar. Call the issuing court if the number is unreadable or missing. The court holding the ticket controls payment and contest instructions. A receipt is not a full case history or certified disposition. The Box Elder traffic court record page lays out the wider county process. Perry routing still starts with the ticket itself.
Perry Records Copy Decisions
Once a Perry-related case turns up, decide which record you actually need. A docket or case history lists events. A filed document shows the text itself. A certified copy adds the clerk's authentication. Utah's statewide Request for a Court Record form asks for the destination court, case details, a document description, inspection or copy choice, fee waiver, certification, and expedited treatment.
| Need | Request |
|---|---|
| Check public events | Xchange or courthouse terminal |
| Read available e-filed item | Xchange document purchase |
| Use an authenticated judgment | Certified clerk copy |
| Find an older file | Clerk and archives inquiry |
Give the case number, filing date, and the specific order or judgment you want. A blanket request for all Perry records may not match any single file or clerk.
How Perry Cases Reach the County
Perry small claims land in Box Elder County Justice Court. Other limited matters follow whatever Justice Court issued them. General-jurisdiction cases go to First District Court. A Justice Court appeal moves to the same county's District Court under Rule 38, and the original Justice record stays separate.
Docket flow: Perry geography › court named on document › Box Elder County Justice Court or First District Court
An appeal that produces a District filing gives you two case numbers, so write down both. For searches that cross venue lines in Box Elder County, the county-level Box Elder court docket overview sorts out where each matter lives.
Perry Hearing Without City Calendar
Skip the City Hall meeting schedule when no Perry calendar turns up. It is not a court calendar. Open the state court calendar instead. Pick the location listed in the case history, and run the case number there. Look for the newest proceeding and check whether a reset appears. If no current setting shows up, call the clerk at that court directly.
The same fallback works when a notice names only Box Elder County without a court. A court name paired with a case number identifies a filing. Perry as a place name tells you far less. Note the date you searched, since calendar results shift over time.
Who Can See Perry Court Records
Utah judicial-record rules sort records into classes: public, private, protected, sealed, juvenile, and other restricted types. Rule 4-202.02 defines those classes, Rule 4-202.03 governs access, and Rule 4-202.04 provides a written request route. Juvenile records stay out of public Xchange entirely.
Public layer: Available Perry-related docket entries may be searched statewide, but restricted documents and personal data stay outside the public view.
A search that comes up empty can mean many things: a filter set too narrow, a filing too recent, an old conversion gap, a misspelled name, or a lawful restriction. The empty result tells you nothing about the outcome. Ask the clerk who holds the record which public request you may make.
Older Perry Court Records
Judgments tied to older Perry matters may sit at the court. They may also have moved to Utah State Archives under retention rules. Start with the clerk named in the last reliable entry. List the court, case number, approximate filing date, party name, and case type. State the exact document you want. Ask whether the file is local, archived, or held in another format.
This route serves genealogy and historical research well. It does so without pretending Perry keeps a municipal archive. Keep the originating court name in your notes. City Hall records and court records are separate collections.
Perry Population Is Not Caseload
The 2020 Census counted 5,555 Perry residents. That number explains why the city ranks in the top-five list, and nothing more. The city publishes no caseload count, citation total, judge biography, docket export, payment portal, night session, kiosk, or court-building history.
County Justice Court totals belong to the county, not to Perry, so do not treat them as a city caseload. What this page can do is route you to the right venue: small claims go to the documented county path, District matters to First District Court, and citations to the court printed on them.
Perry Requests by Phone or Mail
Online search results for a Perry case sometimes fall short. Contact the clerk of the court named in the result. For the documented Perry small-claims route, Box Elder County Justice Court sits at 81 North Main Street, Suite 103, Brigham City. Reach it at 435-734-3390 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A District matter goes through the First District Court public contact at 43 North Main Street and 435-734-4600.
A mailed request should name the court, case number, parties, filing range, and the exact document. Say whether you want inspection, a plain copy, or certification. Ask about cost before ordering a large file. Going direct matters for older Perry material. It matters for documents Xchange does not sell, and for records needing staff classification. It also keeps a judicial request away from Perry City Hall. That office is not the clerk for these cases.
