Logan County Clerk of Court Office
Colorado uses a split clerk structure in Logan County. The Clerk of Court works under the Colorado Judicial Branch at Logan County Combined Courts. The county-level Clerk and Recorder is a different elected office. That distinction is the most important fact for public record requests because case pleadings, orders, dockets, dispositions, and probate letters are not filed with the recording department.
The Colorado Judicial Branch lists Renee Harty as Logan County Clerk of Court and Probate Registrar. The court location page gives the court clerk's phone, fax, email, and public counter hours. The same local court page links court support tools such as records requests, transcript requests, interpreter requests, ADA information, online payments, mediation, jury information, probation, virtual courtrooms, and public defender application information.
The office serves the local court location for the 13th Judicial District in Logan County. It is also the practical contact point when a docket search confirms a case but the public user needs a copy, certification, register of action, or clerk review of a restricted file.

What Logan County Clerk of Court Handles
The Clerk of Court is the starting point when the desired document is part of a court case. District Court in Logan County handles felony criminal cases, civil cases without the county-court dollar limit, domestic relations, probate, juvenile, mental health, and authorized appeals from County Court or municipal court. County Court handles misdemeanors, traffic infractions, small claims, limited civil matters, protection orders, and early felony complaint appearances.
- Criminal case documents, including complaint or information, disposition or sentence order, protection order, ticket, and register of action.
- Family case documents, including divorce decree, parenting plan, separation agreement, support order, and petition.
- Civil documents, including order for judgment, transcript of judgment, satisfaction of judgment, and protection order.
- Probate documents, including letters, will, trust, application, petition, closing, claims, and date-of-death-related material.
- Docket and case-status support when the public docket search is not enough to obtain a document copy.
Marriage licenses, civil unions, recorded deeds, plats, UCC filings, military discharge recordings, and historic grantor/grantee index records belong with the Logan County Clerk and Recorder, not the Clerk of Court.
Request Certified Logan County Court Copies
A certified court copy proves that the copy came from the court file. Certified or exemplified copies may be needed for legal proof, agency filings, title work, immigration issues, name restoration, or out-of-county proceedings. The Colorado Judicial Branch Record/Document Request Form allows the requester to mark whether certification or exemplification is needed.
- Search the docket first if the case number is unknown, using Logan County, Logan County Combined Courts, and the relevant court type.
- Open the court record request form and enter requester contact information, mailing address, and response details.
- Select Logan County as the county or location of the record, then enter the case number if known.
- Choose the case type and document category, such as Divorce Decree, Disposition/Sentence Order, Letters, Will, Ticket, or Register of Action.
- Mark certified or exemplified copy if the document must carry court certification.
- Respond to any clerk follow-up, including ID requests for suppressed, juvenile, probate, or protected-information records.
The request form says the clerk generally provides a response within three business days unless there are extenuating circumstances. A response is not the same as a guarantee that every document can be released.
Logan County Court Request Fields
The statewide Record/Document Request Form is the official online path for court document requests.

Broad requests may take more review time, especially when names are common or the case year is unknown.

| Case type | Optional | Includes divorce, felony, misdemeanor, probate, traffic, civil, small claims, and other types. |

Logan County Clerk of Court Fees
The record request form publishes copy and research fees for court documents. These are document request fees, not a full filing-fee schedule for new cases.

| Copy per page | $0.25; maximum $15.00 for parties and attorneys, no maximum for non-parties |

Logan County Clerk Online Channels
The free Colorado Judicial Branch Docket Search is the public starting point for docket-level information. Select Logan County or Logan County Combined Courts and add at least one filter in addition to date. Search fields include case number parts, party names, business name, attorney name, and attorney bar number.
Docket results do not provide full pleadings or free document images. To obtain copies, certified documents, divorce decrees, disposition or sentence orders, probate letters, wills, or register-of-action copies, use the record request form or contact the Logan County Clerk of Court. For court payments, the Colorado Judicial Online Payment System is the official route for fees, fines, costs, and restitution by county, case number, ticket number, or name.
Restricted Logan County Court Records
The Clerk of Court may restrict access to case files or parts of files under Colorado statutes, court rules, Supreme Court rules, Chief Justice directives, local administrative orders, and other legal authority. The record request form specifically warns that suppressed cases, juvenile and probate records, or documents with confidential or protected information may require a U.S. government-issued photo ID.
That restriction does not mean the clerk cannot help. It means a request may need review, identification, redaction, or a narrower document description. If the record is a Sterling municipal ticket, call Sterling Municipal Court at 970-522-9700 and ask for the Municipal Court Clerk. If it is a recorded document or marriage license, use the county Clerk and Recorder.
Use the case type labels from the request form when possible. Terms such as Felony, Misdemeanor, Divorce, Probate, Protection Order, Small Claims, and Traffic help separate state court files from municipal, law-enforcement, or recording-office records.
