Searching the Paragonah Court Docket
Pull out the paper in front of you before typing anything. A citation names the issuing agency and court; a filed notice carries a case number. Utah Courts Xchange reaches district and justice case information through the statewide CORIS system. Pick Justice jurisdiction for ordinary traffic, infractions, class B or C misdemeanors, and small claims. District covers the wider civil and criminal docket.
- Read the citation, order, or notice for a court and identifier.
- Enter the full citation or case number in Xchange before trying a name.
- Limit scope to Iron County and select the correct jurisdiction.
- Check the separate District or Justice calendar for a setting.
- Call Iron County Justice Court when an older Parowan label or venue is unclear.
- Use the holding clerk's counter, mail, or record-request form for an exact document.
Searching the town name alone will not do the work. Paragonah can show up as an address or an agency location without being the judicial venue at all.
Paragonah's Current County Route

Paragonah Town Hall handles municipal government, not the state-court docket. The town office sits at 44 W 100 N, Paragonah UT 84760, reachable at 435-477-8979. Use the live town site for town business, but take docket, payment, plea, and calendar questions straight to the court.
Paragonah Municipal Court Basics
Paragonah posts no official municipal-court docket portal of its own. Older Utah Judicial Council material grouped Paragonah ZIP codes with the former Parowan Justice Court. That history does not mean the town runs its own tribunal. Since the Parowan transfer, eligible justice service for the area is county based. That distinction heads off two common mistakes. Town hall does not keep the state-court case history. An old Parowan court label on a record does not prove that office still handles the file. Search under the county Justice jurisdiction. When legacy data surfaces, ask that clerk who holds the record now.
Current route: Start with Iron County Justice Court, not an assumed Paragonah municipal docket or the former Parowan office.
Paragonah's 2025 Routing Change
Parowan's official transfer notice confirms the change: every Parowan City Justice Court case and service moved to Iron County Justice Court effective July 1, 2025. Records often keep the location where they were first filed. A Paragonah search can therefore surface Parowan even though Cedar City now provides the service.
| Case timing | Likely clue | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| Before July 1, 2025 | Legacy Parowan Justice label may remain | Ask Iron County Justice Court who holds it now |
| On or after transfer | Iron County Justice route | Search county scope and confirm by citation number |
| District-level matter | Fifth District record | Contact Cedar City District Court |
The filing date is a routing aid, nothing more. It does not settle guilt, case status, or outcome. Read the chronological history together with the current court field.
Court Dates and Settings in Paragonah
The public calendar lives apart from Xchange case history. Utah's calendar index offers separate District and Justice searches. Choose Iron County Justice Court for the limited-court route, then search by case, party, judge, attorney, date, or location where the form allows. Remember that a calendar entry marks a scheduled event, not proof of disposition.
| Case or citation | Match the exact identifier to Xchange. |
|---|---|
| Court | Confirm Iron County Justice or Fifth District. |
| Date and time | Check the live setting near the hearing date. |
| Location | Do not infer Paragonah from a party address. |
| Format | Call for a missing remote or Webex connection. |
Confirm Justice settings by calling 435-865-5335. A reset, continuance, or cancellation can shift the calendar without ending the case. Keep the notice and compare it against the newest docket entry.
Paragonah Calendar vs Case History
Two state tools answer different questions here. The calendar tells you when and where a hearing is set. Xchange case history shows the sequence of filings, settings, pleas, orders, and public disposition fields, but neither tool substitutes for a filed order or a clerk-certified copy.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event that may later move.
- Reset
- A change from one setting to another date.
- Case history
- The chronological public docket information entered by court staff.
- Disposition
- The recorded result of a charge or case stage, read with the full history.
When a Paragonah calendar result disappears, check Xchange for a reset and call the court. Never infer dismissal from a schedule change.
Traffic Tickets in Paragonah
A Paragonah traffic ticket search works best with the citation number and issuing agency. The town name alone can return nothing useful or a flood of parties. Set Justice jurisdiction with Iron County scope. New tickets take time to reach the court. Call before the printed response deadline if one still has not appeared. Paying, pleading not guilty, and asking about a traffic program are separate decisions. The clerk can state the filed status and the available process. The clerk cannot choose a plea for you. The Iron County traffic tickets page covers the local five-day posting guidance, traffic-school questions, calendar search, and copy channels. Note: A police agency or a Paragonah address points to local context. It is not a separate municipal court or hearing site.
Paragonah Search by Number
Names work poorly in a small-town docket search. Spelling variations, middle names, and name-as-filed differences can bury or multiply matches. Citation and case numbers tie far more directly to the court's record. Xchange help also lets you narrow by jurisdiction, county or court scope, case type, and dates. That cuts down a large result set.
| Search key | Strength | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Citation number | Best for a specific ticket | Issuing agency and violation date |
| Case number | Best after court filing | Court type and filing year |
| Name as filed | Useful when no number is known | Scope, date, and spelling variants |
A no-match response can mean the wrong jurisdiction, a new filing, a historical Parowan label, restricted access, or a name mismatch. It cannot prove that no case exists.
Where Paragonah Cases Go
Paragonah legal matters split by type. Justice-eligible cases go to Iron County Justice Court. Felonies, class A misdemeanors, and the wider civil, domestic, and probate matters belong to Utah District Court in the Fifth Judicial District. That district court sits in Cedar City at 40 N 100 E, Cedar City UT 84720. Reach it at 435-867-3250. Juvenile cases take a separate path through the Fifth District Juvenile Court, and access there is restricted to authorized people.
Docket flow: Paragonah matter › Iron County Justice Court or Fifth District Court › Utah appellate route when authorized.
Case type and filing court decide the route. Population plays no part. The Iron County court docket overview lays out the full county hierarchy. Federal matters skip all of this and run through PACER and the District of Utah instead of any Paragonah state docket search.
Paragonah Small Claims Route
Small claims for Paragonah residents run through Utah's justice courts. The statutory limit is explained on the state self-help page. File with the current Iron County Justice route. An old Parowan assignment will not get your case filed. A call to the town office will not either. Keep venue and service rules in mind, since where a defendant lives does not always decide where the claim belongs.
After filing, pull the Justice case history with the case number. The docket can list parties, settings, filings, judgment data, and accounting. For an exact pleading or order that is public, buy the image or ask the clerk.
Paragonah Court Access Channels
Xchange covers public case information online, and the statewide calendar posts hearing schedules. For Paragonah court records beyond that, call or visit the Iron County Justice Court counter. It holds its own files. A focused local record form can request a full case history or a named item, and mail works when that channel allows it. The Fifth District keeps separate phone and counter service. District locations may have public terminals, though it pays to call ahead.
- Xchange for district and justice case information
- Justice or District calendar for a court date
- 435-865-5335 for Iron County Justice verification
- 435-867-3250 for Cedar City District clerk routing
- Counter, mail, or written form for a specific record
Skip the county-government clerk and Paragonah Town Hall for court records. Neither one stands in for the court clerk. Send your request to the court that entered the record.
Paragonah Population in Context
The 2020 incorporated-place table counted 536 Paragonah residents. That Census figure is dated, and it only sets local scale. It says nothing about docket volume, police activity, court outcomes, or hearings involving town residents.
Population is context. The routing fact is the court field, so a Paragonah party or agency can still end up at a hearing in Cedar City.
Paragonah Court Record Access Rules
Utah court rules sort records into four classes: public, private, protected, and sealed. Anyone can ask for a public record. Getting private or protected information takes legal entitlement. Sealed records open only under the governing rule. A court order can also open them. Living in a small town changes none of that. Juvenile, expunged, adoption, and other sensitive material never become public docket entries.
Request precisely: Give the holding court, case or citation number, record date, exact item, and desired inspection or copy format.
A Justice court record request may seek contact details, the violation date, and the charges. It may also seek a delivery choice. Identification can be required when controlled access calls for it. The local form allows up to ten business days for release. Copying, certification, research time, media, or mailing can add cost. Ask for an estimate first.
