This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. This is an independent reference resource. It cannot determine whether a warrant exists, change a court order, accept bond, coordinate surrender, or provide legal advice. Contact the issuing court or responsible sheriff directly for those needs.
Need Official Warrant Information?
Choose a Benton County contact according to the record or service involved:
- Court case or warrant event: call the Benton County Clerk of Court at 319-472-2766 or visit 111 East 4th Street #4, Vinton, during courthouse hours
- Missed appearance: ask the clerk about the Iowa District Court case because Benton has no separate municipal or justice-of-the-peace warrant court
- Recall, surrender, or bond: consult a licensed Iowa attorney, then follow directions from the issuing court and Sheriff
- Public court record request: direct a focused request to the clerk under Iowa Judicial Branch policy; Iowa Code chapter 22 does not override sealed or confidential records
Enforcement, surrender, or custody questions go to the Benton County Sheriff's Office at 113 E. 3rd St., Vinton, IA 52349. Call 319-472-2337 during published weekday office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; select option 2 for jail routing.
