Taylorsville Justice Court Records
The Taylorsville Justice Court handles Class B and C misdemeanors, traffic citations, infractions, and small claims cases up to $15,000 filed within Taylorsville city limits. Filing fees for small claims cases depend on the dollar amount of the claim: $60 for claims of $2,000 or less, $100 for claims between $2,001 and $7,499, and $185 for claims between $7,500 and $15,000. Court costs and service fees are excluded from the jurisdictional dollar limit.
The justice court page at taylorsvilleut.gov/government/court-law provides information on payments, hearing procedures, and online dispute resolution options. Small claims hearings are conducted in person. Online Dispute Resolution is available for qualifying small claims cases under an active pilot program governed by Utah Supreme Court Standing Order No. 13.
Payments for citations are made through utcourts.gov/xchange or the Utah Courts e-payments portal. Phone payments are not accepted. If you want to dispute a citation rather than pay it, you can submit bail by check or money order through the mail to hold your court date. Mandatory appearances are required for violations such as DUI and reckless driving, and those matters cannot be resolved by paying a fine alone.
Note: Small claims cases must be filed in the court for the jurisdiction where the defendant resides or where the underlying claim arose, not simply based on where the plaintiff lives.
Taylorsville Police Records and Arrest Information
The Taylorsville Police Department maintains arrest records, incident reports, and traffic accident reports separate from court case filings. These are public records under Utah's GRAMA law and can be requested through the department's records division. GRAMA requests to Taylorsville Police must receive a response within 10 business days for the general public.
Arrest records from Taylorsville PD include the arrest date, charges alleged at booking, and basic incident information. They are not the same as criminal court records and do not reflect court outcomes or dispositions. For final case results, use XChange or visit the Third District Court clerk in Salt Lake City. Fees for copies of police reports vary by document type and the number of pages requested.
Residents who need to check on an individual currently under state supervision or incarceration can use the free offender search at corrections.utah.gov. This tool is separate from both local police records and Taylorsville criminal court records.
GRAMA and Public Records in Taylorsville
Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, found at Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, gives residents the right to request government records including Taylorsville criminal court records and police reports. GRAMA covers all government agencies in Utah, including Taylorsville City courts, the police department, and city administrative offices.
To make a GRAMA request for Taylorsville records, identify the agency that holds what you need. Court records go through the Taylorsville Justice Court clerk or the Third District Court clerk.

Records sealed by court order, part of an active investigation, or otherwise protected under law may be withheld even when a formal GRAMA request is submitted. Denied requests can be appealed to the agency head and then to the Utah State Records Committee.

Taylorsville is home to the physical offices of the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, located at 4315 South 2700 West, Suite 1300, Taylorsville, UT 84129. The BCI maintains the statewide criminal history database covering all cases filed across Utah, including Taylorsville criminal court records from the Third District.

Expungement of Taylorsville Criminal Court Records
Utah's Clean Slate law, enacted as HB 431 and effective since February 2022, allows qualifying criminal records to be expunged automatically after a waiting period without any petition required. The waiting period varies by offense type. Not all records qualify for automatic expungement. More serious charges and certain offense categories require a manual petition filed through the court.
For records that do not qualify under Clean Slate, Taylorsville residents can petition for expungement through the Third District Court. Because the BCI office is physically located in Taylorsville, residents can visit in person to obtain a certificate of eligibility, which must be issued before any expungement petition is filed with the court. Visit bci.utah.gov/expungements for details on eligibility and the petition process. Information on the automatic Clean Slate program is at cleanslateutah.org.
Once expungement is granted, Taylorsville criminal court records tied to that case are sealed and removed from public search tools. XChange will no longer show the case, and BCI reports issued to the public will not include it.
