Provo Justice Court Warrant Records
The Provo City Justice Court handles Class B and C misdemeanors, traffic offenses, and city code violations. This court issues bench warrants when people miss their hearings or fail to pay fines on time. Bench warrants are a large part of the warrant records in Provo because many residents do not realize how quickly a missed court date turns into an active warrant.
Under Utah Code § 77-7-19, bench warrants are typically issued 14 days after a court summons goes unanswered. Once a bench warrant is in the system, it can lead to an arrest at any time. You might get picked up during a traffic stop or even at a routine check. The Provo Justice Court can work with you on rescheduling a hearing if you contact them before things get worse. Many Provo warrant records start as simple traffic tickets that went unresolved.
Fourth District Court and Provo Warrants
The Fourth District Court serves Utah County and handles felony cases and Class A misdemeanors. The court is located at 151 South University Avenue, Suite 3300, Provo, UT 84601. You can reach them at (801) 851-8920. Arrest warrants for serious crimes committed in Provo come from this court.
You can search Fourth District Court cases through the Utah Courts XChange system. XChange is a fee-based tool that gives you access to District Court criminal case data going back 12 to 14 years. It includes charges, hearings, and sentencing details for Provo cases. Court records in Utah are public under GRAMA (Utah Code § 63G-2), so most warrant information is available to anyone who asks for it.

Utah County Sheriff and Provo Warrants

Under Utah Code § 77-7-5, arrest warrants can be served at any time, day or night. They do not expire.
