Who Issues Warrants in Kimball County
In Nebraska an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Kimball County that means the Kimball County District Court, which hears felonies, the larger civil cases and divorces; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, probate, small claims and juvenile matters, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Clerk of the District Court.
For Kimball County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at nebraskajudicial.gov/courts/kimball-county-court (page title: Kimball County Court | Nebraska Judicial Branch), phone 308-235-2831, 12 County Kimball 114 E. 3rd St. Kimball NE 69145, Fridays, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
