Pima County Consolidated Justice Court handles the highest volume of justice court matters in Pima County. As the central precinct, it processes evictions (Forcible Entry and Detainer), small claims, civil collections, and misdemeanor violations for Tucson and unincorporated Pima County areas not covered by a separate precinct court.
Eviction (FED) service is time-sensitive — the summons and complaint must be served within 2 business days of filing, and the hearing is typically set within 3–6 business days. Professional process servers are strongly recommended to meet these compressed timelines.
