Two Locations for Spokane Valley Court Matters
Spokane Valley residents deal with two different locations depending on their case type.

Criminal dockets and general court questions go to a different location. The Spokane County District Court Public Safety Building is at 1100 W Mallon Avenue, Spokane, WA 99210-2352. Mailing address: PO Box 2352, Spokane, WA 99210-2352. Phone: 509-477-4770. Email: dccasemgmt@spokanecounty.org. Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If your matter involves criminal charges, protection orders, or civil matters, this is the location to contact.
Spokane Valley does not have its own municipal court building. City ordinance violations may be handled by Spokane Municipal Court or Spokane County District Court depending on the jurisdiction and any interlocal agreements in place. When in doubt, call Spokane County District Court at 509-477-4770 to confirm which court has your case.

Payment Systems and Additional Resources
Spokane Municipal Court's eCourt Portal at my.spokanecity.org/courts/municipal-court/eportal/ includes multiple payment options relevant to Spokane Valley cases handled under interlocal agreements. Payment portals available through the eCourt system include ePayIt for eCourt cases, Aims Parking System for parking violations, Verra Mobility Safety Enforcement System for photo enforcement tickets, PAR Acceptance Corporation for time payment agreements, and Valley Empire Collections for delinquent debts. Each payment type goes through a different portal, so confirm which one applies to your specific case.
For statewide criminal history background checks, the WATCH system from the Washington State Patrol charges $11 per search and covers convictions and pending dispositions statewide.
