Iron County Quick Facts
Iron County White Pages Overview
The Iron County official website is the starting point for most white pages searches in this area. It links to property records, GIS maps, tax accounts, and fee schedules. You can also find public notices, commission meeting schedules, and contact info for every county department. The site ties into several outside tools that let you search Iron County records from home.
Iron County runs a free Property Watch service to guard against fraud. It sends you an alert when someone files a document with your name on it. The county also posts delinquent tax lists each year under its public notices section. These lists name property owners who owe back taxes. Under Utah law, property tax records are public under Title 59, Chapter 2. That means anyone can look up who owns a parcel and what they owe. You do not need to give a reason for your search.
The Iron County website also has an online property account search. Type in a name or parcel number and you get tax history, assessed values, and payment status. The tool pulls data from the Iron County Treasurer. It is one of the most used white pages resources in this part of Utah.
GIS maps for Iron County show parcel lines, land use, and zoning. These maps are free. They help you match a name to a piece of land or check lot sizes and boundaries.
Iron County Sheriff White Pages
The Iron County Sheriff is the main law enforcement office for the county. Sheriff Kenneth Carpenter leads the office. The Sheriff is a constitutional officer elected every four years. The office has jurisdiction across all of Iron County, though it mainly works outside city limits. Cedar City and other towns have their own police.
All records at the Sheriff's office fall under GRAMA, which is Utah Code Section 63G-2. That law says most government records are public. You can ask to see them during normal business hours. Some records are private or protected. Health care files, juvenile records, and active case files have limits on who can see them. The Sheriff classifies each record as public, private, controlled, or protected.
To get a copy of a report or other record, file a GRAMA request with the Sheriff's office. Put your request in writing. Include your name, contact info, and a clear description of what you need. The office has 10 business days to respond. They may charge a fee that covers the actual cost of copying the records. Iron County white pages searches that involve law enforcement data usually start here.
Iron County Jail Bookings
The Iron County jail posts recent bookings on its website. You can view the Iron County jail bookings page to see arrests from the past three days. The page refreshes every 10 minutes. It shows the name, arresting agency, arrest type, booking date, charges, and custody status. This is one of the quickest Iron County white pages tools for checking if someone was recently arrested.
There is one big change to know about. Since March 2021, Iron County no longer posts booking photos. Utah House Bill 228 stopped that practice. Only photos of wanted fugitives or people the Sheriff calls an "imminent threat" are released before a conviction. If you need a booking photo after sentencing, you have to file a GRAMA request. Do not call the jail for photos that are not on the site.
The jail holds pretrial detainees, convicted misdemeanor offenders, felons, and juveniles held by court order. It runs work programs and classes to help inmates build skills before release. Records about inmates are classified under GRAMA. Basic booking data is public. Medical files and certain internal records are not.
Note: Online jail data is for information only. Contact the Iron County Jail for official records.
Court Records in Iron County
Iron County sits in the Fifth Judicial District. The district court handles felony cases, civil suits, family law, and probate matters. The Utah State Courts website lets you look up cases across all districts. The XChange system is the main tool for this. It costs $10 to set up a guest account. Searches run $0.35 each. Document downloads cost $1.00 per file.
If you are a party in a case, use MyCase at utcourts.gov/MyCase. It is free. You can see filings, hearing dates, balances, and documents tied to your case. You can also make payments through MyCase. For Iron County white pages searches that involve court data, these two tools cover most needs. Justice court records for misdemeanors, traffic, and small claims are also in the system.
Court records in Utah are public under GRAMA. Some files are sealed or restricted. Juvenile cases, adoption records, and mental health cases have limits. You can go to the courthouse in person and use free public terminals if you want to skip the online fees. Written requests for copies go to the Clerk of Court.
Iron County Property White Pages
The Iron County Assessor sets the value of all property in the county each year. Residential property in Utah is assessed at 55% of market value. Commercial property goes at 100%. These rules come from Title 59, Chapter 2 of Utah Code. The Assessor does not set tax rates or collect taxes. That is the Treasurer's job. But the Assessor's data feeds into the white pages system for anyone who wants to check who owns a property and what it is worth.
The Iron County Recorder stores deeds, mortgages, liens, easements, and plat maps. These are the official land records for the county. If a property changes hands, the deed is recorded here. You can search by owner name, parcel number, or document number. The Recorder does not do title searches for you. For a full chain of ownership, hire a title company or do your own research at the office.
Recording fees in Iron County follow Utah Code 17-21-18. The Recorder cannot alter any record once it is filed. That rule is in Utah Code 17-21-17. If you need a certified copy of a deed or other document, the office charges a fee. Plat maps and survey data are also on file. Iron County white pages searches for property start with either the Assessor or the Recorder.

State Resources for Iron County
Several state agencies hold records that tie into Iron County white pages searches. The Bureau of Criminal Identification in Taylorsville handles criminal history checks. You can get your own Utah criminal record for $20. The BCI also runs the state's missing persons database. At least one case involves a person who went missing from Cedar City.
The Utah State Archives stores older records from across the state. Birth and death certificates, court files, and military records are part of the collection. The Utah Open Data Portal lets you view data from every state agency in one spot. You can filter by public safety, health, or other topics. The data is free to download.
The Utah Department of Corrections runs a statewide offender search. It covers state prison inmates, not county jail inmates. For Iron County jail data, use the Sheriff's booking page. The state also has a UCC filing search through the Department of Commerce at secure.utah.gov/ucc. This covers business liens and financing statements tied to individuals and companies in Iron County.
Note: The BCI will never call or text you about a warrant. If you get such a message, it is a scam.
