The court system in Coconino County is made up of three courts: the Superior, Justice, and Municipal Courts. Only cases that are not under the jurisdiction of a lesser court are heard by the Superior Court of the county. One of the specialized divisions available in the Superior Court for specific types of cases is the Juvenile Division. The limited jurisdiction of the Justice Court and Municipal Court applies to specific types of civil and criminal issues.
A variety of felonies and civil cases, including those involving probate, estates, divorces, annulments of marriages, disputes over real property ownership and possession, and civil cases involving claims exceeding $10,000, fall under the original jurisdiction of the Coconino County Superior Court in Flagstaff. Insolvency procedures, naturalization, forcible entrance and detainer, municipal ordinance legality, and efforts to prohibit or avoid nuisances are among the other matters it handles. The Superior Court has a Juvenile Court in addition to seven additional divisions. Numerous legal issues are handled by Coconino County's four Justice Courts. For criminal matters, they are responsible for the issuance of warrants and the preliminary hearings for felonies, misdemeanors, harassment, domestic abuse, and infractions. Their jurisdiction extends to civil matters up to $10,000, which includes landlord-tenant disputes but does not include ownership disputes. They share jurisdiction with Superior Courts for civil cases valued between $3,500 to $10,000. The Justice Court and the five Coconino County Municipal Courts share jurisdiction when it comes to traffic infractions and state law breaches that take place within a city or municipality.
The yearly caseload of over 1850 in the Coconino County court system is evidence of the county's developing judicial system.
