NO FCRA USE. Columbia County Court Docket is privately operated and has no government or court affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The resource helps visitors find Wisconsin and Columbia County case information. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of all courts and public offices. It does not keep official records, file papers, retrieve dockets, or change hearing dates.
Readers are directed to Julie Kayartz, Clerk of Circuit Court; the Wisconsin Circuit Court, Columbia County; local municipal courts; WCCA; and, on some pages, outside search services.
2. Informational Use Only
All content is general information. It cannot replace an official docket, court order, or attorney's advice. Use it only as an initial reference, and verify material facts with the Columbia County Clerk or the court holding the case.
3. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Violate federal, Wisconsin, or local law through site use

- Use the content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Seek unauthorized access to any part of the systems
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants

- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
If you need a background check for any of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant screening company.
5. No Legal Advice
No content is legal advice. Only a licensed Wisconsin attorney can advise how a charge, order, deadline, or case applies to a person's circumstances.
6. Accuracy Is Not Guaranteed
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Court records change as cases are filed, dates move, and matters are amended, sealed, or dismissed. Gaps and delays can occur. No page is an official statement from Julie Kayartz, the Wisconsin Circuit Court, Columbia County, or WCCA. Confirm dates and docket entries with the court before relying on them.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to clerk pages, Wisconsin court portals, WCCA, legal-aid groups, and outside search providers. Those destinations are independently controlled. We are not responsible for their availability, fees, content, or data practices, and users should review the destination's terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up a case or docket for me?
No. This private resource cannot enter the court's case-management system. Run a case search or ask the responsible clerk.
Can you change or confirm my court date?
No. Setting, moving, and confirming a hearing are court functions. Review the court calendar, then confirm the date with the clerk.
Is a docket entry on a linked tool official?
No. Outside results may be incomplete or stale. The official record comes from the clerk who maintains the case.
