Welcome to the Delaware County Clerk of Courts

I am proud to provide this site as a public service to our legal community and the residents of Delaware County. It is my honor and privilege to serve as your Clerk of Common Pleas Court.

This site allows you to search information in our Legal Division about appellate, civil, domestic relations and felony criminal cases, including case dockets, court schedules and documents that have been filed in the Clerk of Court’s office for the Delaware County Common Pleas Court and Fifth District Court of Appeals.  The Legal Division is located in the new Delaware County Courthouse in the heart of downtown Delaware.

The Title Division of the Clerk of Courts office serves the residents of Delaware and other Ohio counties by issuing Ohio Certificates of Title for ownership transfers and all other title transactions for automobiles, watercraft and recreational vehicles. For your convenience, there are two offices of our Title Division; one in Delaware and one in Lewis Center.

This site also offers an extensive list of forms for both the Legal Division and Title Division of the Clerk of Court’s office.

Feel free to contact any of the offices of the Clerk of Courts for further information or to answer any questions you may have. We will be happy to serve you.

I was first elected to office as Delaware County Clerk of Common Pleas Court in 2016 after working in the Clerk’s offices for over fourteen years.  My main responsibilities were in the Clerk’s Title Division and serving the customers and dealerships of the Satellite Title Office in Lewis Center.  Since taking office, I have become an active member of the Ohio Clerk of Courts Association.  I have also volunteered for over 35 years in many capacities for my church and community organizations.  I was born and raised here in Delaware County.  I graduated from Delaware Hayes High School and Ohio Wesleyan University.  I am proud to serve my hometown community as Clerk of Common Pleas Courts.
