Kane County Municipal Court Warrants
Kane’s current lower-court map is smaller than the county’s five incorporated places might suggest. Orderville Municipal Justice Court is the municipal route for Orderville and Glendale. Kanab City Justice Court and Big Water Justice Court were dissolved, with work transferred to Kane County Justice Court. Alton’s lower-level matters are included in the county justice court’s jurisdiction.
A local municipal case may not be answered by a county administrative records desk. Use the court named on the citation or docket, then ask its clerk whether a bench warrant exists and how the case may proceed.
Kane County Municipal Warrants Route Through Orderville
Glendale is assigned to Orderville Municipal Justice Court on the official Utah Courts location map. Kane County’s justice-court page lists Orderville at 435-648-2534. The court’s separate street address was not identified in the inspected pages, so confirm the right counter before traveling.
The map shows court routing, not a warrant roster.
Use the official court map to confirm Glendale routing, then check case-specific details with the clerk.
Kane County Cities With Municipal Courts
Only one current municipal justice-court route appears in the research, and it serves two towns. The other incorporated places use a county court route or a transferred docket. Confirm each case by its court name instead of treating every city as a separate court jurisdiction.
| City | Court | What It Handles |
|---|---|---|
| Kanab | Kane County Justice Court for transferred cases | Most local traffic and lower-level matters |
| Orderville | Orderville Municipal Justice Court | Municipal matters and local traffic questions |
| Big Water | Kane County Justice Court successor docket | Cases transferred after 2022 dissolution |
| Glendale | Orderville Municipal Justice Court | Official Utah Courts map route |
| Alton | Kane County Justice Court | County page includes Alton in its jurisdiction |
Kane County Municipal Warrants After Court Consolidation
Kanab City Justice Court dissolved and transferred its caseload to Kane County Justice Court. Big Water’s dissolution took effect December 31, 2022, after the county court agreed to take its cases. Older documents can still show a former city-court label, so ask the current clerk to identify the successor case.
This transition is why an online search or payment page may use a location name that is no longer a separate court counter.
Checking a Municipal Court Warrant
Use the Utah Statewide Warrants file first, then contact the court printed on the citation or docket. Kane County has no local municipal warrant portal listed in the research. For traffic matters, CORIS can search by court and citation or case number, but it is not a warrant-clearance decision.
- Use the state warrant file and note the court or case information that appears.
- For a citation, select the court in CORIS and enter the citation or court case number.
- Call Orderville Municipal Justice Court at 435-648-2534 or Kane County Justice Court at 435-644-2351, based on the case.
- Ask the clerk what appearance, payment, or motion is required before taking action.
Kane County Municipal Warrant Search Has No Local Portal
No separate warrant-search website or mobile app was located for Kanab, Orderville, Big Water, Glendale, or Alton during the 2026 inspection. The reliable route is the state portal for a broad status check, then the court clerk for the case docket and next step.
If no case appears, the citation may not yet be filed or the number may be wrong. A GRAMA request can seek records held by a government office, but it is not an instant court-status check.
Inside a Municipal Court Warrant
The court record can identify its location, case number, citation or ordinance, and public warrant event. Not every document is public, and case-number formats vary by court location. Ask the issuing clerk which fields and records are available for your case.
| Court location | Orderville Municipal Justice Court or Kane County Justice Court successor docket. |
|---|---|
| Case identifier | Citation or court case number; CORIS says it is court-location-specific. |
| Case event | Public filings may show an appearance or warrant event. |
| Financial terms | Confirm the amount and allowed payment method with the clerk. |
| Current status | Ask the issuing court whether it is active, recalled, quashed, or resolved. |
Kane County Warrant Courts Include Sixth District
Not every warrant is municipal. Sixth District Court handles felony and class A matters in Kane County, while Kane County Justice Court handles many traffic and lower-level cases. Juvenile matters use the Sixth District Juvenile Court and carry special access limits.
The Sixth District Court page lists Kanab contact information.
Use the court shown by the case, not the nearest office.
How to Resolve a Municipal Court Warrant
Contact the issuing court before paying. The clerk can tell you whether the case requires an appearance, a motion, counsel, proof of compliance, or a payment. The court that issued the order decides whether it is recalled or quashed. The Sheriff and Clerk/Auditor cannot change that status.
- Identify the current court and case number, including any former court name.
- Ask what action is required and whether counsel may appear.
- Follow the court’s payment or appearance instructions and keep proof.
- Ask when the clerk and Statewide Warrants file should reflect the result.
Warning: A portal payment may close a citation or be treated as a conviction; confirm the court’s instructions first.
Kane County Big Water Warrant Cases Moved
Big Water’s Justice Court was dissolved effective December 31, 2022, and its cases transferred to Kane County Justice Court. Judicial Council materials describe 752 cases over five years and low monthly criminal and traffic volume. Those figures explain the court change, not warrant activity.
If an older case names Big Water, give its number to the county justice clerk and ask which docket now controls it. The 2023 Judicial Council meeting materials document the transition.
