Hemet is served by the Riverside County Superior Court, and the courthouse handling Hemet-area cases is the Hemet branch (Hemet Justice Center) plus the larger Riverside Historic Courthouse and Banning Justice Center for certain case types. The fastest way to look up cases is the court's Public Portal at epublic-access.riverside.courts.ca.gov, which lets you search by name or case number across the county's case-management system. There's also a free case-number-only search at efsp-riv.journaltech.com/public-portal. The court's main page (riverside.courts.ca.gov) links out to both. Civil, family, probate, and criminal/traffic are all searchable, though the depth of online detail varies — civil typically shows full register of actions, while criminal/traffic may show only basic case status. Sealed, juvenile, and confidential matters won't appear. For a certified copy of a judgment, ruling, or filing, request it from the courthouse where the case was heard or use the court's online certified-copy request system. Statewide name search across all California superior courts is also available (with limits) via the California Courts self-help guide at selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/court-basics/look-up-case.

For Hemet property records, the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder (ACR) is the source — and it's especially convenient because the ACR runs a full branch office right in Hemet at 880 N. State Street, Suite B-6 (951-955-6200). That office handles deed copies, recorded document searches, and assessor questions in person. Online, the property search portal at ca-riverside-acr.publicaccessnow.com lets you look up by APN, Property Identification Number (PIN), or street address, and it returns ownership, assessed value, parcel characteristics, and recent recorded documents. For deeds, mortgages, reconveyances, and liens, search the Recorder index directly through rivcoacr.org/PropertyInfo. Basic searches and viewing are free; certified copies of recorded documents cost a few dollars per page (current ACR fee schedule is on rivcoacr.org). Property tax bills and payment history are at the separate Riverside County Treasurer-Tax Collector site — countytreasurer.org. The ACR has been actively warning property owners about scam mail soliciting fees for documents you can pull yourself for free, so if you get something in the mail charging $80+ for a "property profile," ignore it.
