Municipal Court / Magistrate Court

Municipal Court, also known as Magistrate Court, hears the following types of cases: 

• Misdemeanor criminal conduct that occurs within the Prescott Valley Town limits, such as assault, trespass, disturbing the peace and domestic violence, as well as criminal and civil traffic offenses, and juvenile matters. 
• Petitions for Orders of Protection and Injunctions Against Harassment

The Magistrate Court recognizes deferral programs such as Defensive Driving School (DDS, see list below); programs such as the TASC misdemeanor marijuana anger management and domestic violence treatment are utilized by the Court; delayed entry of judgment is available in specific cases as a motivational tool for a Defendant to have no further contact with the legal system. After-hours court proceedings are considered on an as needed basis. The Magistrate Court also works closely with other courts.
