Ohio Cities

Ohio has hundreds of cities spread across 88 counties. Court records in Ohio are handled at the county level, not the city level. Each city falls within a county, and the Clerk of Courts for that county keeps all case files from the Court of Common Pleas. Municipal courts within cities handle misdemeanor cases and small civil claims and keep their own records. Select a city below to find out which county court handles records for that area, along with local contact info and resources.
