Eagle Mountain Quick Facts
Eagle Mountain Court System Overview
Eagle Mountain uses two levels of courts. Each handles a different range of cases, and knowing which one filed a case is key to finding the right records.
The Eagle Mountain Municipal Justice Court handles Class B and C misdemeanors that occur within Eagle Mountain city limits, traffic infractions, city ordinance violations, and small claims disputes up to $11,000. Justice courts in Utah are classified as courts not of record, but they still generate public case data that is stored in the statewide CORIS database and searchable through XChange. All outcomes from the Eagle Mountain Justice Court, including fines, judgments, and case dispositions, become part of the public record.
For more serious matters, cases go to the Fourth District Court located at 125 N. 100 West, Provo, UT, reachable at (801) 429-1000. Felony criminal cases, civil suits over $11,000, domestic relations matters, and probate all fall under the Fourth District. Appeals from the Eagle Mountain Justice Court also route to the Fourth District, where a trial de novo is conducted.
Note: A trial de novo means the Fourth District Court hears the appealed case from the beginning, without giving weight to the justice court's prior decision.

GRAMA Requests for Eagle Mountain Records
Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, at Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, gives any person the right to inspect public records. Court records are public by default.

To request records from the city rather than the court, submit a written GRAMA request to Eagle Mountain city offices directly.
Your request must include your name, contact information, and a specific description of the records. The city or court must respond within 10 business days. Expedited responses in 5 business days are available for urgent requests. If your request is denied, you can appeal to the State Records Committee. Your reason for asking does not limit your right to receive public records.
