This website is a private reference guide, not a Garfield County office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule a jail visit, or pull an official booking record. Those requests must go to the sheriff, jail, court, corrections agency, or other office that controls the record.
Official Contacts for Custody and Records
For Garfield County Jail or sheriff records, use the official contacts below. The researched sources did not publish separate lobby hours or a separate booking-desk phone number, so call before visiting when timing matters.
Garfield County Sheriff's Office / Garfield County Jail375 North 700 West
Panguitch, UT 84759
Phone: 435-676-2678
Mail for the jail may be directed to Garfield County Jail, P.O. Box 370, Panguitch, UT 84759. Sheriff Eric Houston is listed by the county as sheriff, and the official jail page names Jason Miller as Jail Commander. GRAMA records requests for sheriff records may be submitted to Tom.Talbot@garfield.utah.gov. The sheriff's GRAMA materials state that the office may take up to 10 business days to respond and that estimated fees must be paid before processing. Utah GRAMA is found in Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2; private, controlled, or protected records may require identity proof under Utah Code 63G-2-202. Researched sheriff fees include $10 for 1-10 black-and-white pages plus $0.25 per additional page, $0.50 per color page, $25 for video/DVD/USB or photo CD, and $2 per printed photo page.
Use the following routing guide to choose the correct records path:
- For someone who may be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the Garfield County Sheriff's Office/Jail phone number.
- For booking photographs or photo-release rules, review jail roster mugshots and the sheriff GRAMA process.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Utah Courts Xchange, MyCase where eligible, or courthouse public terminals.
- For facility-specific address and visitation information, use the Garfield County Jail facility page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced Utah state prisoner or a person under UDC supervision, use the Utah Department of Corrections offender search. UDC says that search does not cover unsentenced county jail detainees.
- For federal sentenced custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator instead of a Garfield County jail search.
