Who Issues Warrants in Summit County
In Utah an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Summit County that means the District Court for Summit County, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and class A misdemeanors; the Justice Courts, which take traffic tickets, class B and C misdemeanors and small claims, issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the clerk of court keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at summitcountyutah.gov/228/Justice-Court (page title: Justice Court | Summit County, Utah Official Court Information | Summit County, UT), phone 435-615-3800, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, the Justice Courts, not to the District Court for Summit County.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Summit County Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Summit County Sheriff's Office, held about 68 people on an average day in 2019 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a jail page SearchSystems verified at summitcountysheriff.org/DocumentCenter/View/26286/Inmates12292025. The Summit County inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Summit County on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Summit County
Whether a warrant is out from Summit County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the clerk of court at 435-615-3800, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- MyCase and Xchange, free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone 435-336-3206, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Summit County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification is not open to the public in Utah, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Summit County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Summit County starts with the clerk of court at 435-615-3800: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Summit County.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at summitcountyutah.gov/970/Staff, phone 435-336-3206.
