Daggett County Justice Court
The Daggett County Justice Court serves the entire county for traffic violations and misdemeanor cases. Because Daggett County has only one small community, Manila, and a very small population, there is a single justice court that covers all county traffic matters. This court handles Class B and C misdemeanor traffic offenses, civil traffic infractions, and small claims matters. It is a non-record court, so appeals of its decisions go to the Eighth District Court and are heard fresh.
Daggett County has a limited online presence compared to larger Utah counties. If you received a traffic citation in Daggett County, the most reliable way to get case information is to contact the court directly at (435) 781-9300. Ask for the justice court clerk to confirm your case details, fine amount, and hearing date if one is scheduled. Online payment options may be limited, so ask the clerk about payment methods when you call.
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area draws visitors through Daggett County year-round. Utah Highway 44 and US Highway 191 are the main roads, and law enforcement patrols them regularly, especially during peak recreation seasons. If you were cited on these roads, check whether the citation lists the justice court or a state or federal agency as the issuing authority. Federal citations from national recreation areas may go through a different court process.
Note: For Daggett County, calling the court directly before visiting is strongly recommended. Hours and staffing may vary due to the county's small size.

Infractions are the most common violations and include speeding, failure to yield, and improper equipment. Misdemeanor violations include reckless driving and driving under the influence. Felony traffic charges involve serious injury crashes or repeat DUI offenses.
Given the remote nature of Daggett County and the recreational traffic on its highways, law enforcement focuses on speeding, impaired driving, and seat belt compliance. The area around Flaming Gorge Reservoir brings significant summer traffic, and citations increase during that season. If you are visiting Daggett County for recreation, be aware that the same traffic laws apply here as in more populated Utah counties. Ignorance of the speed limit or road rules does not reduce a fine or penalty.
The Driver License Division tracks all traffic convictions from Daggett County and applies points to driving records just as it does for any other county. A conviction for a moving violation in Daggett County can affect your insurance rates and your license point total regardless of where in Utah you live. The DLD's records reflect all Utah convictions, not just those from your home county.
Deferred Prosecution for Daggett County Tickets
Utah's statewide deferred traffic prosecution program applies in Daggett County. Eligible violations can be deferred through the Utah Courts Deferred Traffic Prosecution portal. You pay a fee, avoid new violations for the deferral period, and then the charge is dismissed. No conviction appears on your driving record, and no points are assessed by the DLD.
Because Daggett County has limited online infrastructure, you may need to call the court to confirm whether your specific citation qualifies for deferral before using the online portal. The clerk can tell you whether your offense is eligible and what steps to take. DUI, reckless driving, and violations by commercial drivers are typically not eligible for deferral in Utah, including in Daggett County.
The Utah Courts Deferred Traffic Prosecution portal is available to Daggett County drivers with eligible citations, allowing them to apply online and avoid a conviction on their record.
