Rogers District Court

The Rogers District Court handles lower-level matters for the city. The court is at 1901 South Dixieland Road, Rogers, AR 72756. There are two phone lines: (479) 621-1132 for criminal and traffic matters, and (479) 621-1138 for civil and small claims cases. The district court covers misdemeanor charges, traffic violations, landlord-tenant disputes, civil suits under $25,000, and preliminary hearings for felony charges before those cases move to circuit court.

The Rogers District Court is separate from the Benton County courthouse in Bentonville. If you're dealing with a traffic ticket, a small claims case, or a misdemeanor charge that originated in Rogers, this is the court to contact. The two-phone setup also tells you something about how busy this court is. High-volume district courts like Rogers often have separate lines for the different types of cases they handle.

District court case records from Rogers may be searchable online through Search ARCourts, since Benton County is a participating county in the statewide system.

Rogers City Clerk

The Rogers City Clerk is at 301 West Chestnut, Rogers, AR 72756. Phone: (479) 621-1117. The city clerk keeps municipal government records rather than court case filings. City council minutes, ordinances, city permits, and official municipal documents live here. This office is a separate stop from the district court or the circuit clerk when you need court records. However, if you need a copy of a city ordinance or a zoning resolution, the city clerk is the right call.

City records are public under the Arkansas FOIA, but they're a different type of public record than court case files. If you need both types for a legal matter, know that you may be visiting or contacting more than one office. The city clerk at Chestnut Street and the district court at Dixieland Road are the two main Rogers offices for public records; circuit-level records are in Bentonville.
