Utah County Felony Classifications
Utah felony law applies to all Utah County cases. Under Utah Code § 76-3-201, felony sentences are served in state prison, not the county jail. Utah County felony records from the 4th District Court will show the class of felony and the sentence imposed.
Capital felonies are the most serious and may result in death or life in prison without parole. First degree felonies carry five years to life and fines up to $10,000. Second degree felonies carry one to fifteen years in prison and fines up to $10,000. Third degree felonies, the least severe class, carry up to five years in prison and fines up to $5,000. The felony class in a Utah County case determines not only sentencing ranges but also how long a person must wait before applying for expungement.
What Utah County Felony Records Show
A Utah County felony record from the 4th District Court contains the defendant's full name, case number, and filing date. It lists all charges with the specific Utah statutes cited. The record tracks every court hearing and whether the defendant was present. It shows bail amounts, attorney information, and all motions filed during the case.
The disposition section tells you how the case ended. It shows whether the conviction resulted from a plea or a trial, the specific offense of conviction, the felony class, and the sentence. If the case was dismissed or the defendant was acquitted, that information is in the record as well. Utah County felony conviction records are public under Utah law. Under Utah Code § 63G-2-201, anyone may inspect these records.

Expungement of Utah County Felony Convictions
Some Utah County felony convictions may be expunged after meeting state requirements. Expungement seals the record from public view and removes it from standard criminal history searches. The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification manages the process, and details on eligibility are at bci.utah.gov/expungements.
Third degree felonies from Utah County typically become eligible seven years after the end of supervision. Second degree felonies have a longer waiting period. Capital and first degree felonies are generally not eligible for expungement under Utah law. An expungement petition for a Utah County felony must be filed with the 4th District Court in Provo. If the court grants the petition, BCI and the Utah County Sheriff's Office update their records to reflect the sealed status.
