3rd Judicial District Court and Herriman Felony Cases
The 3rd Judicial District Court in Salt Lake County handles all Herriman felony cases. This is where felony charges are filed, hearings are held, and convictions are recorded. The court clerk maintains official case files for every Herriman felony case. Access to these records is available in person at the courthouse or online through the Utah Courts XChange system.
XChange at utcourts.gov/xchange is the main online tool for searching Herriman felony records.

A monthly subscription runs $40. If you prefer free access, public terminals at the Salt Lake County courthouse let you search without paying the online fee.

What Herriman Felony Records Include
Herriman felony records at the 3rd District Court include core case information: defendant name, charges, case number, and outcome. Conviction records also show the sentence imposed, whether prison time or probation, and any fines assessed. The public portion of most Herriman felony case files remains accessible after the case is closed.
Records that may be restricted include juvenile court records, files sealed by court order, and certain pre-trial materials. If you are denied access to Herriman felony records, the agency must give you a written explanation. You can appeal to the State Records Committee under Utah Code § 63G-2. The right to inspect public records without charge is established by this same statute.
Utah Felony Classes in Herriman Cases
Herriman felony cases are prosecuted under Utah Code Title 76. Utah law divides felonies into four classes with different sentencing ranges. The 3rd District Court applies these guidelines when sentencing defendants convicted of felony crimes in Herriman.
Capital felonies can carry life imprisonment. First degree felonies carry 5 years to life and up to $10,000 in fines. Second degree felonies carry 1 to 15 years and fines up to $10,000. Third degree felonies carry up to 5 years and fines up to $5,000. Utah Code § 76-3-201 provides that felony sentences mean state prison rather than local jail time. This is true for all Herriman felony convictions regardless of the specific charge.
Note: The felony class for each Herriman case appears in the charging documents and is visible in XChange case searches. Understanding the class helps you interpret the severity of any conviction in a Herriman felony record.

Herriman is in Salt Lake County, and county resources support the search for felony records. Salt Lake County at saltlakecounty.gov provides access to the sheriff's office, court resources, and other county services. The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office maintains an inmate lookup tool for the Metro Jail, where Herriman residents may be held after a felony arrest.
The Unified Police District covers some law enforcement activities in Herriman alongside the Herriman Police Department. GRAMA requests directed to the Unified Police District go through its own records process. For the formal felony case record, the 3rd District Court is always the authoritative source. County and police records supplement court records but do not replace them for Herriman felony conviction searches.
BCI Records for Herriman Felony Convictions
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification maintains statewide criminal history records that include Herriman felony convictions. A name-based check through BCI costs $15 and covers all courts statewide. Contact BCI at (801) 965-4445 or visit bci.utah.gov to request a search. The BCI office is located in Taylorsville at 4315 South 2700 West, Suite 1300, making it accessible for residents throughout the Salt Lake metro area.
BCI records are useful when you need a comprehensive view of someone's Utah criminal history. The database includes felony convictions reported by courts statewide, so it captures both Herriman 3rd District Court convictions and any charges from other Utah counties. For a single Herriman case, the court record through XChange is usually faster and cheaper. For a full history check, BCI provides broader coverage.
Expungement of Herriman Felony Records
Some Herriman residents with felony convictions may be able to have those records expunged. Expungement seals the court file and removes the conviction from public view. Not all felonies qualify. Capital felonies, most first degree felonies, and certain violent crimes cannot be expunged. For eligible offenses, there is a mandatory waiting period after completing the sentence before you can apply.
Begin by applying for a certificate of eligibility through BCI at bci.utah.gov/expungements. After receiving the certificate, file the expungement petition with the 3rd District Court in Salt Lake County. If the court grants the petition, the Herriman felony record is sealed. The conviction no longer appears in public XChange searches or BCI reports. The warrant database at secure.utah.gov/warrants can also be checked for active warrants before or during the expungement process.
Utah Corrections and Herriman Felony Sentences
Herriman residents convicted of felonies who receive prison sentences serve their time in Utah state facilities. The Utah Department of Corrections operates those facilities and maintains an offender search tool at corrections.utah.gov. You can search by name to find current and former inmates, including those with Herriman felony cases. The corrections portal also includes information about parole status and supervision for people released from prison.
Felony probation in Herriman is also supervised by the Utah Department of Corrections through field offices in the Salt Lake area. Both prison and probation records are tracked by corrections but are separate from the court record. For the official conviction and sentencing order, the 3rd District Court case file is the authoritative source for any Herriman felony case.
Note: Inmate and corrections records are updated as status changes occur. A search today may show a different result than a search made weeks or months later for the same Herriman felony case.
