How to Search Richfield Dockets
For any Richfield court docket search, start with Utah Courts Xchange. Pick District Court when the case involves a felony, a class A misdemeanor, civil or domestic matters, probate, or judgments. Justice Court is the one for citations. Use it also for infractions, class B or C misdemeanors, ordinance cases, and small claims. One catch: a case number is not unique across Utah. Pair it with Sevier County and the Richfield court location before you trust the match. Name searches work best with the last name first plus a first-name wildcard. That trick helps when spellings drift.
- Read the notice and identify District or Justice Court.
- Select that jurisdiction and the Richfield or Sevier scope in Xchange.
- Enter the case number, or search by name and case type.
- For a citation, use both citation number and location.
- Open extended case history and verify the venue before relying on any date.
When Xchange comes up empty, other routes still work. Sit down at a courthouse public terminal, ask the right clerk at the counter, or simply call the court. Utah's official Request for Court Record is another option. These channels matter most for old files, certified copies, and public court records that are not sold online.
Two Richfield Court Addresses
Richfield has two main counters, and mixing them up slows any request. The Sixth District and Juvenile Court location sits at 845 East 300 North, Richfield, UT 84701. The phone there is 435-896-2700. At that counter, the district clerk keeps public records for civil, domestic, criminal, probate, and judgment cases. Juvenile files play by separate access rules and stay mostly nonpublic.
Sevier County Justice Court holds its own docket at 250 North Main, Suite 124, Richfield. Its phone is 435-893-0461. That staff handles county justice traffic, infractions, lower misdemeanors, ordinances, and small claims. Richfield city hall does not keep these state case histories, so skip it.

The Richfield Justice Court
Official FY2023 statistics list no separate Richfield City Justice Court. In practice, the local venue is Sevier County Justice Court in Richfield. The exception comes when your ticket or case record names Aurora City Justice Court or Salina City Justice Court instead. A home address alone tells you nothing about venue. Trust the ticket, the court notice, and the Xchange court-location field.
What does the county court hear? It takes traffic violations and infractions. It also handles ordinance matters, class B and C misdemeanors, and small claims within the current justice limit. Its calendar covers arraignments, status settings, bench trials, and qualifying jury trials. The official justice court page links calendars, payment, traffic school, forms, and court rules.
Richfield Case History Fields
A Richfield row is a locator, not a certified record. Check county, court, case type, number, filing date, and public party data. Then open the extended history. It may list charges or causes, attorneys, proceedings, settings, judgments, costs, payments, and public documents.
| Court Location | Distinguishes Sixth District from a justice venue. |
|---|---|
| Case Type | Codes such as FS, SC, TN, or TC identify the case family. |
| Proceedings | Chronological filings, hearings, orders, and court action. |
| Settings | Date, time, judge, place, and hearing type when entered. |
| Disposition | The recorded result and date, read with the official code list. |
Seeing a setting in the Richfield docket only means an event was scheduled. It settles nothing. Later entries tell the real story, so read them for a reset, a cancellation, a disposition, or a new date.
Richfield Court Dates and Settings
Utah calendars cover both district and justice activity, usually for two weeks. They update daily. The county also links a Richfield Justice calendar PDF. One caution on reading a court calendar: search the newest case history too, because a continued hearing can leave its old entry sitting in the docket record. And remember that a reset is just a new setting, not a dismissal.
| Date | The scheduled day, subject to later action. |
|---|---|
| Time | The posted start time for the setting. |
| Courtroom | The Richfield location or room when listed. |
| Judge | The assigned judicial officer. |
| Setting Type | Arraignment, status, motion, trial, sentence, or review. |
Need an urgent court date confirmed fast? Call 435-896-2700 for Sixth District or 435-893-0461 for Sevier Justice. A live notice from the court, confirmed directly, beats any stale calendar entry.
Richfield Docket Scale
An official report dated January 2, 2026 counted 329 active district cases on the Richfield docket. Fresh filings made up a healthy share. Some 78 cases were 30 days old or less. Another 59 fell between 31 and 60 days. Another 36 sat in the 61 to 90 day range. The tail thins out from there: 74 cases were 91 to 180 days old, 46 had been open 181 to 365 days, 29 had lingered between 366 and 730 days, and just seven were older still.
The two counters handle separate streams, so these figures say little about one case's length. Case history and the assigned court control that.
Richfield Traffic Tickets
Check your Richfield citation before anything else. It should name the court, the number, the deadline, and how to respond. Use Xchange Justice Court for a docket search. Match the citation number to the location. The county payment link handles money, but it is not a full court docket. A ticket may not have posted. The hearing date may look wrong. In either case, call the clerk rather than assuming payment cleared the setting.
Paying a traffic ticket counts as a guilty plea. It also closes the charge, unless the court approves deferred terms. To fight it, follow the plea or appearance steps the named court directs. Traffic school covers neither the fine nor the plea-in-abeyance fee. For county-wide options, see Sevier County traffic court records.
Richfield Specialty Court Context
Richfield hosts two problem-solving courts within the Sixth District, according to the state directory: Adult Drug Court and Adult Mental Health Court. Both rely on close review and treatment-focused work. Neither publishes participant lists, and neither offers its own public search tool.
When the underlying criminal case is public, you can look it up in Xchange. The docket history may show routine settings, orders, and outcomes. Anything private, sealed, or protected stays out of public court records.
Where Richfield Cases End Up
Where a case gets filed depends on its type, not on a Richfield address. Justice court handles the smaller stuff: lower criminal charges, traffic tickets, and small claims. Felonies, class A misdemeanors, domestic cases, probate, judgments, and general civil cases all belong in Sixth District Court.

Richfield Record Copy Choices
Need a copy of a Richfield court file? Xchange sells electronic district documents filed since July 1, 2010, whenever an image exists. Plan on a $10 guest balance first, then $0.35 per search and $1 per document. One caution: a screen or downloaded image is never certified. Justice court paper runs cheaper, and Utah publishes the rates. Plain copies cost $0.25 per page. A certified record runs $4 per document plus $0.50 per page. Direct your request to whichever court actually holds the Richfield file. Most ordinary requests get an answer within ten business days. Staff work can add to the bill.
Public Access to Richfield Records
Xchange covers most public District and Justice case histories. Richfield locals have other options too: a terminal at the courthouse, an allowed paper file, a phone call, or the statewide request process. For certified copies, the clerk is the office to ask.
Key Rules:
UCJA Rule 4-202.02 classifies court records.
UCJA Rule 4-202.03 ties access to record class and requester.
UCJA Rule 4-202.04 provides a request process.
Richfield Public Terminal Access
Richfield gives you two ways in. You can search Xchange remotely or go to the courthouse. Remote guest access means paying the current online balance plus transaction charges. Most district courthouse terminals, by contrast, offer free case-history searching. It pays to confirm locally. The terminal opens public information only. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, protected, and other restricted records stay closed to it. For a district case, call 435-896-2700 before driving to 845 East 300 North. Ask two things: whether a terminal exists there, and whether your document can be inspected or copied. Sevier County Justice Court cases go through 435-893-0461. The counter sits at 250 North Main Street, Suite 124. Know what you are asking for, too. A browser history, a terminal view, a filed document, a plain paper copy, and a certified copy are five different products. Give staff the case number. Give the exact filing too, so the request lands in the right hands.
Richfield Courthouse Entry Rules
The county justice page lays out the ground rules for visiting a Richfield courtroom. Leave food, drinks, and gum behind. Electronic devices face restrictions, weapons are banned, and visitors may be searched. These rules apply whether you come to watch a hearing, attend an arraignment, or handle small claims. None of it affects a record's public status. Interpreter or disability-access needs? Raise them through official court channels before your appearance when you can. Some calendar entries carry a remote link when the court allows one. A Webex link never means every proceeding goes remote. Confirm your appearance method with clerk staff instead of guessing. Bring the case or citation number. Follow the newest court order, since a saved calendar may lag a reset.
Older Richfield Case Histories
Xchange may carry public district electronic documents filed since July 1, 2010. An older Richfield file often shows thin detail online, though. Start by confirming the court, the spelling, the case type, and the date range. Then turn to the Sixth District clerk for an allowed paper file. Or file through the official Request for Court Record process. A good request names the court. It also gives the case number if known, the document title, the rough date, and the format you want. Utah Courts generally answers ordinary requests within ten business days. Expect copying, certification, storage, transmission, and staff time to add charges. An online case history is a fine tool for locating the right item. It is not a certified copy. The full text of the order may not appear there.
Richfield District Docket Snapshot
A dated pending-case report adds another angle on the court work centered in Richfield. Dated January 2, 2026, it sorted 329 active Richfield district cases into age bands. The breakdown covered 78 cases zero to 30 days old. Another 59 fell from 31 to 60 days, 36 from 61 to 90 days, and 74 from 91 to 180 days. A further 46 sat at 181 to 365 days, and 29 at 366 to 730 days. Seven were older than 730 days. Those figures describe one report date. They are not a permanent caseload count. The FY2023 filing report adds annual context. Sevier District Court logged 374 criminal filings, 201 domestic filings, 343 general civil filings, and 469 judgment-category filings. Debt collection led all named general civil lines. The judgment category covered abstract judgments, child-support liens, tax liens, and workforce-services liens. That variety matters. It is why a Richfield docket search works best with a case type, court level, and date range rather than a name alone. Neither report tells you what happened in any specific case. Pending age reveals no fault, no party delay, and no expected hearing date. Annual filings, likewise, are not the same as cases open today. Treat the numbers as a gauge of local scale. Then check Xchange and the court calendar for the actual Richfield case. Clerk staff at the proper address can confirm a live hearing or pull an allowed file.
