South Jordan Court Records and GRAMA Requests
Court records filed in the South Jordan Justice Court are generally public. Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, known as GRAMA, gives residents the right to access records held by government entities, including courts. The full statute is available at le.utah.gov. Agencies must respond to a written GRAMA request within 10 business days. Fees for copies are set by Utah administrative rules.
Some records are restricted or closed under GRAMA and court rules. Juvenile court files are not public. Records that have been expunged no longer appear in official searches. Cases involving certain protected parties, sealed plea agreements, or mental health evaluations may also be restricted. If a search returns no results for a known case, the file may be restricted rather than missing.
To request records in person, go to the clerk's office at 1600 West Towne Center Drive during business hours. Bring the name of the party or the case number. Written requests can also be mailed to the court. Copy fees vary based on the type of document requested and the number of pages involved.
