24th Judicial District
Grant County shares its judicial district with Harney County. This arrangement goes back to the history of the two counties. Harney County was originally part of Grant County. In 1889, the state separated the two because of the great distance between communities. It took several days by horse to travel from Burns to Canyon City in those days. Even after the split, the courts remained linked under one judicial district.
Today, the 24th District still operates with a single presiding judge who serves both counties. This means court dates in Grant County depend on the schedule in Harney County, and vice versa. If you have a traffic ticket in Grant County, call the clerk to find out when the judge will be in Canyon City.
Note: Cases filed in Grant County stay in Grant County, even though the judge also serves Harney County. Your traffic ticket records will be at the Canyon City courthouse.
