Nevada County Sheriff and Jail

The Nevada County Jail is a small holding unit in Prescott. It books new arrests, holds people for first court, and may transfer long stay inmates to a regional jail if bed space runs short.

Most stays at the Nevada County Jail are short. People held on local misdemeanors may move to first court within a day or two. People held on felonies or out of county warrants may stay a bit longer. The Nevada County 72 hour booking step is done once the intake file is printed and the data is ready for first court.

Nevada County Court Records Link

Each Nevada County booking ties to a court file fast. The first appearance is set within about 72 hours of arrest. Felony cases go to the Circuit Court in Prescott. Misdemeanor and traffic cases go to District Court. Both are searchable on CourtConnect. The Nevada County Circuit Clerk can pull paper files and certify copies when needed.

Probate and domestic relations cases pass through the Circuit Court too. Juvenile bookings are sealed and not on the public docket. The clerk takes copy fees at the front counter. Cash or check both work.

Older Nevada County files that pre-date the online docket may need a few days to pull. The clerk keeps an off site archive for case files beyond the live search range.
