The eServices portal at eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/Court/Case/ provides case search functionality and payment processing, allowing users to look up court dockets and resolve citations online.

The eServices interface lets you search for cases by name or case number. You can view docket information, see upcoming court dates, and make payments for fines and fees. The system is available 24 hours a day.

How to Search Court Dockets

Go to the eServices portal. Select the case search option. Enter a last name or a case number. The system searches all Scottsdale City Court cases. Results show case numbers, charges, and current status. Click on a case to see the full docket. The docket displays charges filed, court dates scheduled, appearances made, and the final outcome if the case is closed.

The docket shows each step in a case. When charges are filed, that goes on the docket. When the defendant appears in court, that gets recorded. If an attorney files a motion, that appears on the docket. When the judge makes a ruling, that shows up too. If someone pleads guilty, the docket records the plea and the sentence. If the case goes to trial, the docket shows the trial date and verdict. All this information is available online at no charge.

You can use the portal to pay fines and fees. Enter your case number. The system shows what you owe. You can pay with a credit card or debit card. The payment posts to your account immediately. If you have questions about a payment plan or need to speak with court staff, call the court at 480-312-2442. The clerk's office can set up payment plans for people who cannot pay a fine all at once.

Maricopa County Court Jurisdiction

Scottsdale is part of Maricopa County. City Court handles misdemeanors in Scottsdale. Maricopa County Superior Court handles felonies, civil cases over $10,000, family law, and probate. If a misdemeanor case gets charged as a felony, the case transfers to Superior Court. The City Court docket will note the transfer. A new docket begins in Superior Court with a different case number.

Felony crimes go straight to Superior Court and do not appear in City Court records. Superior Court uses its own docket system at superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket. Justice Courts in Maricopa County handle misdemeanors outside city limits. Each court system maintains separate records. You need to search the appropriate court based on the type of case and where it was filed.
