Ohio Cities
Ohio's major cities are spread across dozens of counties. Civil court records for city residents are handled at the county level by the Clerk of Courts, not at city hall. Each city also has a municipal court that handles smaller civil cases up to $15,000 and small claims up to $6,000. For larger civil matters, the Court of Common Pleas in the county has jurisdiction. Select a city below to find out which county court handles civil court records for that area, along with contact info, online search tools, and local resources.
