CLERK OF COURTS
PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS

Disclaimer: A person requesting public records need not identify themselves or the reason for which they seek the records. Providing such information to the Clerk's Office is entirely voluntary, although it can often clarify and expedite the release of information.  Public records requests can be made in person, over the telephone or online.  Records will be released in accordance with the provisions of the Ohio Public Records Act, and may be subject to legal review prior to release.

Public Records copies are provided at $0.05 a page.  Other mediums such as DVD, if available, may be a different charge.  The Clerk’s office may ask for prepayment before a request is processed.  Payment may be made online, over the phone, by mail (made payable to Fairfield County Clerk of Courts and sent to 224 E. Main Street, Lancaster, Ohio 43130) or in person at the Clerk of Courts Records Division at 224 E. Main Street, 4th Floor, Lancaster, Ohio 43130.
