Request Court Records

All Municipal Court records are open records that are available to the public, except records that are specifically exempted by law. One example of an exemption is cases involving juveniles.

We make every effort to fill requests within a reasonable time within the legal guidelines for records requests. If we cannot fill the request within this time, we will provide a date and time when the records will be available.

You can only view original records under Municipal Court staff supervision.

You can also request photocopies of records, for a fee of $1.25 per page.
