Blount County Criminal Records

This Blount County records guide is organized around the way the information is actually maintained. Begin with the Q&A for the record you need, then use the source map below to confirm a case, custody status, incident report, or statewide search. Blount County has 143,820 residents (2025 estimate). The source map below identifies the relevant local courts and agencies. Offices and online systems change, so confirm details with the agency before relying on a record.

Police, sheriff, and incident records

For police or incident records, use County archives and Sheriff's Office public-records request instructions. The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts directory lists judicial assignments but does not provide a complete case-type jurisdiction chart for every Blount County court.

Criminal cases in Blount County

Start with Local General Sessions Criminal Court jurisdiction, records access, warrants, and payments for the official Blount County court path. County: Blount County includes the county territory adjoining Sevier, Knox, Loudon, and Monroe Counties and North Carolina; county seat and principal courthouse location are in Maryville. Court: Blount County is identified by the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts as the Fifth Judicial District. Local General Sessions Criminal Court handles misdemeanors and felony preliminary hearings; Circuit, Criminal, and Chancery courts have separate divisions and clerk functions.

Jail and custody information for Blount County

For current custody information, start with Current county budget describing Sheriff's Office, public safety, court security, and county jail responsibilities. The county's boundary description was located in an official county financial-report PDF rather than a dedicated current boundary page.

Municipal and local court records

Municipal and local court coverage is separate from the county trial-court path. Custody: The Blount County Sheriff's Office is responsible for the county jail and corrections functions. Booking, custody status, and jail-record details should be verified through the Sheriff's Office rather than the court clerk. Municipal: Municipal courts are separate from county courts and handle matters arising under municipal authority. The state judiciary directory lists municipal-court judges associated with Blount County, but no single official county page located here provides a complete current list of all municipal court boundaries.

Statewide sources for Tennessee records

Statewide Tennessee sources are separate from Blount County local records. Do not treat a statewide search as a complete county docket, jail roster, or police-record database.

Cities covered by local record systems

The relevant local courts and agencies may serve different incorporated municipalities, so confirm the filing locality before relying on a record.

Official Blount County and Tennessee record sources

For an official starting point, use Official county government portal and countywide services directory. Confirm current access rules, fees, contacts, and jurisdiction with the responsible agency.
