Why We Built This Site
Finding a Delaware County docket often starts with deciding which court has the matter. The Delaware County Clerk of Courts Legal Division keeps Common Pleas civil, domestic-relations, felony criminal, and appellate files. Delaware Municipal Court keeps its own misdemeanor, traffic, parking, small-claims, and limited civil dockets. Dublin and Westerville Mayor's Courts also begin with their own limited city matters. Those distinctions can make a public search miss look more confusing than it is.
Ohio Courts Network is not a public shortcut for trial-court records. The practical public routes are the local Common Pleas CourtView/eServices portal and Delaware Municipal Court's Authority Web Connect portal, followed by the correct Clerk counter when a file or document is not available online.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference resource, not a Delaware County or Ohio court office. Only the court or clerk that holds a case can act on its official record. The following requests must go to that office:
- Issuing an official docket sheet, order, or certified copy
- Changing, confirming, or resetting a hearing date
- Filing, removing, sealing, or correcting a court record
- Giving legal advice about a case or court procedure
- Confirming that a portal entry is current or complete
- Handling a payment, waiver, or appearance requirement
The Delaware County Clerk of Courts or the court that holds the case is the source for an official record. A portal result can help locate a case, but it is not a certified copy.
