Panguitch Warrant Checks
A name-based first pass runs through the Utah Statewide Warrants search. The Garfield County Sheriff warrant-search page links straight to that service and lets you enter a first name, last name, and optional middle initial. If a hit comes back, write down the court and case reference before anything else. Panguitch City Justice Court takes city citations and ordinance cases, and the same clerk contact serves Garfield County Justice Court matters too. Call 435-676-1115 to confirm a Panguitch case. A felony or district-level matter belongs with the Sixth District clerk instead. One caution: a matching name alone proves nothing about identity, and an empty results screen is no substitute for the actual court file. The clerk's answer settles it.
Panguitch Warrant Records at the County Seat
Panguitch is the Garfield County seat, and its courthouse doubles as the local court hub. The 2020 Census put the town at 1,725 residents. Sharing one building makes the clerk easy to reach. Still, city and county dockets stay separate, and the Panguitch city judge's calendar never swaps with the county Justice Court docket.
The population figure gives local context, not a measure of warrants or court cases.
Policing and Courts in Panguitch
Panguitch runs no separate city-police warrant portal. A public notice confirms that county law enforcement provides coverage to the city. For municipal matters, Panguitch City Justice Court exists, and it shares both the courthouse and the clerk contact with Garfield County Justice Court.
The Shared 55 South Main Panguitch Court Route
Both Panguitch City Justice Court and Garfield County Justice Court sit at 55 South Main Street, reachable at 435-676-1115. The county court page names Timothy B. Smith as Panguitch City Justice Court judge and Seirra Julander as clerk. When you call, give the clerk the court printed on your citation so the right Panguitch case gets searched. The Panguitch City Hall directory publishes the city's government contacts.
The directory covers city officials; warrant status stays a question for the court. The Garfield County court page lists the shared Panguitch City Justice Court clerk route.
Even with the shared Panguitch address and phone, always match your call to the court named on the citation.
Warrants in Panguitch: The Main Types
Warrants tied to Panguitch can arise from city ordinance or traffic cases, county citations, lower misdemeanors, or district-level criminal matters. The type decides the path. A search warrant for evidence differs from an arrest warrant or a failure-to-appear warrant.

| County traffic warrant | County citation or missed appearance | Garfield County Justice Court |
| Felony arrest warrant | District criminal matter | Sixth District Court |
| Search warrant | Evidence search order, sometimes sealed | Issuing court access rules |
Panguitch City Justice Court Versus Garfield County Justice Court
The two courts share an address and a clerk phone but no single case list. Panguitch City Justice Court handles city matters. Garfield County Justice Court takes county traffic, infractions, class B/C misdemeanors, and small claims. A Utah Highway Patrol or wildlife citation can land in county court even when it happened near Panguitch. Follow the court name on the ticket or search result. The clerk can tell you which docket applies and whether your situation needs payment, a new hearing, or a judge's review.
Panguitch Warrant Records: What They Show
A statewide result may show a name and the issuing court, yet leave out bond terms and the full warrant. Utah Xchange can add public case history. Garfield County has published no local warrant-number pattern, so never infer one from a Panguitch case number.
| Case reference | case or citation number from the court notice or ticket. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | Panguitch City, Garfield County Justice, Sixth District, or another court listed. |
| Charge/event | Case history may show the charge or missed setting. |
| Status | Confirm active, served, or recalled status with the court. |
| Release terms | Ask the issuing clerk; do not assume the search result shows them. |
Panguitch City Judge and Clerk Contacts
The city directory lists Tim Smith as City Judge, and the county Courts page shows the Panguitch City Justice Court and its shared clerk route. Those city contacts help you find the right court, but the directory itself is no warrant database. For a felony question, Sixth District Court uses 435-676-1104. Don't route a warrant request to the city recorder just because the case involves Panguitch. Ask the clerk whether a written court-record request is required first.

What to Ask Before Going to the Panguitch Sheriff/Jail
The courthouse sits at a different address than the Sheriff/Jail. For a warrant in Panguitch, call the court before you drive anywhere. The jail at 375 North 700 West posts no public bond window or surrender schedule. If the court tells you a booking step is required, then call the Sheriff at 435-676-2678. Ask ahead about documents, entry rules, and timing. Jail visiting hours are not warrant-clearing hours in Panguitch, so treat them only as a visitor schedule.
