This includes Class B misdemeanors, Class C misdemeanors, traffic violations, small claims cases, and civil infractions. Felony matters are not handled here; those go to the Third District Court in Salt Lake City.

Small claims in Sandy can involve monetary disputes up to $11,000. These cases are popular because they do not require an attorney, and hearings are usually set within a few weeks of filing.

Traffic cases represent the largest share of the justice court docket, with citations issued by the Sandy Police Department making up a large portion of new filings.

The court is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can call (801) 568-7250 to speak with a clerk, confirm a hearing time, or ask about payment options for a fine. Walk-ins are also welcome during business hours.

Sandy Public Records Access and GRAMA Requests

Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, known as GRAMA, establishes the right of any person to inspect and copy public government records, including court documents. Under Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, most Sandy Justice Court records are classified as public documents. You do not need to be a party to the case or an attorney to request them. You do not need to state a reason for your request.

Public court records typically include docket sheets, case filings, court orders, civil judgments, and records of convictions. Records that are not open to the public include sealed case files, expunged criminal records, juvenile court matters, and certain victim-related documents protected by court order. If you request a record that has been sealed or restricted, the clerk will let you know the classification and whether there is an appeal process available under GRAMA.

To submit a GRAMA request for Sandy court records, contact the clerk's office at the justice court in writing or in person. Physical copies may carry a per-page reproduction fee. The Utah State Archives is the right place to look for older records that have moved out of the court's active files. For help navigating the process, the Utah Courts Self-Help Center offers plain-language guides and downloadable forms.

Court staff can also tell you whether your case has been continued or reassigned to a different date. Arrive early on hearing day, as multiple cases are often set at the same time slot.
