Kootenai County launches updated online court schedules and iCourt tools

Kootenai County is now publishing updated day-to-day court calendars alongside refreshed iCourt tools so members of the public, defense attorneys and defendants can view daily calendars, look up case information and pay fines or citations online. The change is active and intended to deliver accurate, timely schedules for people with matters before county courts.

The update went live on February 26, 2026 and Kootenai County officials are actively publishing the calendars each business day to reflect courtroom assignments, docket changes and continuances. Accurate day-to-day schedules matter for defendants and attorneys who rely on precise hearing times to avoid missed appearances and potential warrant activity, and for victims and witnesses who need dependable notice of hearings.

The iCourt tools included in the rollout allow users to search case information, see calendar entries and process payments for fines and citations without visiting a courthouse in person. Those functions give attorneys a digital way to monitor dockets and let defendants resolve monetary obligations electronically; county administrators expect online payments to reduce foot traffic at county counters and speed the processing of citation collections.

For public access, the county’s online court services now host the day-to-day calendars and the suite of iCourt features so people with cases in Kootenai County can check docket status and pay fines remotely. The published calendars update daily to reflect new filings and schedule changes, and the tools are designed for use by defense counsel, prosecutors and private litigants managing active case calendars.

Institutionally, the move strengthens administrative transparency at the county level by centralizing calendar information and payment options in one online platform. That consolidation aims to reduce clerical errors in scheduling and to give judges and court staff clearer, up-to-date information when managing courtrooms and case flow in Kootenai County.

The county is presenting the updated schedules and iCourt tools as operational improvements that support timely court appearances and more efficient handling of fines and citations. Residents and legal professionals with ongoing matters should consult the county’s online court services for the latest day-to-day calendars and use the iCourt payment and case lookup tools to verify hearing times and resolve monetary obligations.
