If you need to find a specific court docket record for a civil case, criminal matter, or family law filing, Tipton County's records are tied into the statewide Odyssey system. That means most recent docket entries can be searched on the MyCase portal at no cost. For older records or certified copies, the clerk's office at the Tipton County Courthouse handles all requests.

Tipton County Court Docket Search

The MyCase Indiana search portal is the best starting point for finding Tipton County court docket records. The portal is free to use. Enter a name, case number, or date range to pull up records from both the Tipton Circuit Court and Tipton Superior Court. Results include docket entries, hearing schedules, and basic party information.

Tipton County is a smaller county, so searches tend to return a manageable number of results. If you know the name of a party involved in the case, that is usually enough to find what you are looking for. The docket tab on each case page shows every action in the case from filing to disposition. Under IC 5-14-3, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, the general public has the right to view most court docket records. The main exceptions involve sealed records and juvenile cases restricted under IC 31-39-2.

Court Docket Records at the Tipton Courthouse

Two courts handle cases in Tipton County. The Tipton Circuit Court is led by Judge Thomas P. Lothamer II. He oversees a broad range of cases. The Tipton Superior Court is led by Judge Jeffrey D. Ahlbrand, who handles additional civil and criminal work plus overflow from the circuit court. Together, these two courts manage every type of case filed in the county.

Each court generates its own docket entries. A docket entry is a record of something that happened in a case. It could be a new filing, a scheduled hearing, a judge's order, or a final ruling. All of these entries are stored in the Odyssey case management system and pushed to the MyCase public portal. Indiana Administrative Rule 9 sets the standards for which records are open to the public and which ones the court can restrict.
