Clark, Floyd and Harrison Counties: Courts, Records and Logistics for an Investigation

Court and property records in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties are managed by separate clerks in each county. An investigator must account for these different systems when planning a case, ensuring all documents and records are accessed from the correct county offices.

Key takeaways

• Court and property records vary by county, affecting case planning.
• MyCase offers a starting point for searching public court records.
• Providing exact county information is crucial at intake.

Three counties, one short drive, three different record systems

Greenville, located in Floyd County along Highway 150, sits centrally with Clark County to the east and Harrison County to the west. Despite the short distances, each county has its own independent records system, making detailed local knowledge vital for accurate investigations.

Where court records live

MyCase first

To access public court records in Indiana, the MyCase online system is a valuable resource. It covers most Indiana courts that use Odyssey, barring some confidential records and older documents not available online.

The courthouses in practice

In Clark County, the Circuit Courts No. 1-6 are located within the Clark County Courthouse at 501 East Court Avenue, Jeffersonville. The Clerk of Courts can be found in the Judicial Center, Room 137. Floyd County's Circuit and Superior Courts are housed at 311 Hauss Square, Room 235, New Albany. Meanwhile, Harrison County accommodates its Circuit and Superior Courts in Corydon, with county offices located at 245 Atwood Street.

When a records request needs a person at the counter

Certain documents, particularly older cases or those not online, necessitate a personal visit to the clerk’s office of the respective county. Investigators should be prepared to handle such requests directly for comprehensive access.

Land and property records

County recorders hold deeds, mortgages and liens

The county recorder's office is responsible for land and property records, such as deeds, mortgages, and liens. Floyd County offers an online system for records search, while Harrison County maintains a more traditional record-keeping method including land ownership records.

Why the property's county matters for asset and locate work

The specific county where a property is located is crucial for asset and locate work. Each county manages its own records, making precise knowledge and advance preparation essential for successful outcomes.

Logistics an investigator plans around

Addresses that use a town name but sit in a different county

An investigator must consider that certain addresses may use a town name that differs from the county they are actually in. Proper verification is necessary to ensure accurate case planning.

Serving papers: the affidavit says what happened, including a miss

When serving legal papers, it's crucial to document the event accurately through an affidavit, whether the service was successful or not, as it holds significant importance in legal proceedings.

Matters that cross the river

For matters involving the Indiana side, all work is carried out under Indiana license PI22500020. Any Kentucky-side concerns should be addressed during the initial consultation call.
