Wasatch County Jail and Inmate Records
The Wasatch County Jail is a medium-security facility of about 100 beds located at 1361 South Highway 40 in Heber City. Roughly 40 corrections deputies oversee jail operations. The facility holds inmates serving sentences of less than one year, along with pre-sentenced individuals awaiting court dates. Inmates serving longer state sentences are transferred to a state prison facility once sentenced.
The Sheriff's Office publishes a comprehensive online inmate roster on its website. That roster lists current inmates, their booking dates, and their charge information. It is the most current public-facing source for active custody data in Wasatch County. The roster updates when changes occur at the jail, though there can be a short processing delay between a booking and when it appears online.
For inmate searches beyond the current roster, the VINE system provides an additional layer of tracking. VINE shows custody status and allows you to register for automatic alerts when a specific person's status changes. This is particularly useful for anyone who needs timely notification of a release or transfer.
Note: Walk-in visits to the jail must be coordinated in advance. Contact the jail at (435) 657-1619 to confirm visiting procedures before going in person.
Wasatch County Criminal Records via GRAMA
Wasatch County criminal records are public under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The Sheriff's Office handles most criminal records requests. To submit a request, complete the GRAMA form available from the office and return it by mail, fax, or email. The fax number for GRAMA submissions is (435) 657-3580. Email requests go to wcsorecords@wasatch.utah.gov.
The standard response window is 10 business days. If your request qualifies as a public benefit request, the response window shortens to 5 business days. When a request is denied, the denial letter must include the specific statutory basis for withholding the record and instructions for filing an appeal. The process is governed by state law and applies uniformly to all requesters.
Fees for GRAMA requests in Wasatch County are calculated on an hourly basis after the first 15 minutes of work required to fill the request. Per-copy costs also apply for printed documents. For civil service process matters, contact the office by email at CivilService@wasatch.utah.gov.
Note: Requests that are clear and specific tend to be processed faster. Include the subject's full legal name, date of birth, and the approximate date range of the records you need in every submission to the records unit.

Expungement of Wasatch County Criminal Records
Some individuals with Wasatch County criminal records may qualify for expungement. Expungement removes a record from public view and is handled through the Utah court system. The Utah Courts expungement guide explains eligibility requirements, the petition process, and what happens after a record is sealed.
Not every offense qualifies. Serious felonies, violent crimes, and sex offenses generally cannot be expunged. The process takes time and requires a BCI review before a judge approves the petition. Once expunged, a Wasatch County criminal record will no longer appear in public searches. Cases filed in the district court serving Wasatch County are eligible for petition through that court if the offense and outcome meet the legal standards for sealing.

BCI holds the complete state criminal history for Wasatch County and processes expungement-related record updates once a court has issued a sealing order.
Note: Eligibility for expungement depends on the specific offense type and how much time has passed since the case closed. Review the BCI eligibility chart or consult an attorney before filing a petition.
