Brigham City Quick Facts
Brigham City Police Records
The Brigham City Police Department is the main source for local law enforcement records. The station is at 20 N Main St, Brigham City, UT 84302. Call (435) 723-5227 for questions about records or the request process. The department handles incident reports, arrest logs, accident files, and case records for events that happen within Brigham City limits.
You need to file a GRAMA request to get copies. Include all the details you can. Dates, names, case numbers, and the type of record you want all help the department find your file faster. Vague requests slow things down and can lead to partial results. The city has 10 business days to respond under Utah Code 63G-2, which is the state records access law. Some records are restricted. Active investigations, juvenile files, and certain victim data are classified as private or protected. If the city denies your request, you have 30 days to appeal.
Brigham City also has a city recorder at city hall. The recorder manages non-police public records like council minutes, city ordinances, contracts, and budget documents. If you are looking for something that is not tied to law enforcement, the recorder is likely the right place to start.
Brigham City Residents Directory Search Options
The Brigham City residents directory pulls from several different offices. The city handles police records directly. Box Elder County manages court files, property records, and jail bookings. State agencies cover criminal histories, vital records, and professional licenses. Each one has its own tools and fees.
For court records, the Utah Courts website has a free case search tool. Brigham City is in the First Judicial District, which covers Box Elder County. You can search by name or case number. The results show party names, filing dates, case type, and status. Full documents require a request to the court clerk or a trip to the courthouse in Brigham City itself, since the county seat hosts the district court.
Property records for Brigham City go through the Box Elder County Recorder. The office is at 01 S Main St, Brigham City, UT 84302. Call (435) 734-3393 for questions. The recorder holds deeds, mortgages, liens, and other land documents. Tax records and assessments are with the county assessor. Both offices serve all properties in Brigham City and the rest of Box Elder County.
Box Elder County Sheriff and Jail Records
The Box Elder County Sheriff's Office handles law enforcement outside Brigham City limits and runs the county jail. The office is at 52 S 1000 W, Brigham City, UT 84302. Call (435) 734-3800 for information. The sheriff's office manages its own incident reports, patrol logs, and arrest records for the unincorporated parts of the county.
Inmates booked into the Box Elder County Jail can be looked up through the VINE victim notification system. VINE is a free service that shows custody status and sends alerts when that status changes.

GRAMA Records Access in Brigham City
Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act controls how public records work in Brigham City. The law says government records are open to the public unless a specific exemption applies. Records fall into four classes: public, private, controlled, and protected. Most general records are public. Personal information like medical data or certain law enforcement details may be private.
You can submit a GRAMA request to any Brigham City office. The city must respond within 10 business days. They can approve the request, deny it, or ask for more time. A denial must cite the exact GRAMA section that justifies it. You then have 30 days to appeal. The first appeal goes to the city. If that fails, the State Records Committee hears the next round.
Fees vary. Brigham City can charge for copies and staff time past the first 15 minutes. The Utah State Archives GRAMA page has templates and guides that work for any government office in the state. These resources help you write a clear request and know your rights if something gets denied.
The State Archives site explains the GRAMA process in plain terms and links to forms you can use for requests in Brigham City or anywhere else in Utah.
