Lebanon, Ohio, in Warren County, has about 22,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Warren County Court of Common Pleas and the Municipal and County Courts, and the file of each case, kept by the Clerk of Courts, is the public record of it. This guide says which court hears what, where to look a case up and who keeps the files.
This guide covers the courts, the records page, criminal cases, kinds of files, directory links and common questions.

The Courts That Hear Cases from Lebanon
Court cases from Lebanon are filed in the Warren County Court of Common Pleas, which hears felonies, civil cases over $15,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters, each in its own division.
Below it, the Municipal and County Courts take misdemeanors, traffic cases, evictions and civil cases up to $15,000; mayor's courts handle some village tickets.
Divorces go to the Domestic Relations Division of the Court of Common Pleas, and the file stays with the Clerk of Courts.
The Clerk of Courts keeps the files, and a copy of anything in a file comes from that office, under the court's own rules rather than the Ohio Public Records Act.

What Reaches the Court from Lebanon

The Kinds of Court Files
The court file is one record with several readers: a criminal case from the arrest to the sentence, a divorce from the petition to the judgment, a traffic ticket from the citation to the conviction the court reports to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and an eviction or a lien on land.
The other Lebanon guides take the kinds of file one at a time: Lebanon criminal records, Lebanon divorce records, Lebanon traffic tickets, Lebanon DUI and Lebanon property records.
