Ohio Cities

Ohio has dozens of cities spread across 88 counties. Public records in Ohio are handled at the county level, not the city level. That means the county where your city sits is where you go for court records, property deeds, marriage licenses, and vital documents. The Clerk of Courts, Recorder, Auditor, and Probate Court in each county serve all cities and townships within their borders. Select a city below to find out which county handles public records for that area, along with office contacts and local resources.
