Greene County Public Records

Greene County public records are maintained by the county clerk, recorder, and related offices in Bloomfield, Indiana, covering court cases, property documents, marriage licenses, and other government records. This page walks through where to find records, which online tools cover Greene County, and how to submit a request.

Greene County Clerk of Courts

The Greene County Clerk's office is at 1 E Main Street, Bloomfield, IN 47424. The phone is 812-384-8532. The clerk handles all court records for the county, including civil cases, criminal matters, small claims, family court, and probate filings. Staff can pull case files, issue certified copies, and help you find a specific record during regular business hours.

Before visiting Bloomfield, check Indiana's free MyCase portal at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. Most Greene County cases filed in recent years are indexed there. You can search by name or case number and view the public docket, party names, and filing dates at no cost. Certified copies and detailed file pulls go through the clerk, but MyCase is the right starting point for any court records search in Greene County.

Written requests get a seven-day response window under Indiana law. In-person requests at smaller offices like Greene County often get handled faster. Bring the case number if you have it. That helps staff find the file quickly, especially for older cases not yet fully indexed online.

Greene County Government Website

The Greene County government website provides links to department pages, including the clerk and recorder offices. It is a useful starting point for finding contact information and checking for local updates.

The county site at co.greene.in.us links to individual department pages for the clerk, recorder, assessor, and other offices. Use it to confirm office hours, find the right contact, and check for any local notices before submitting a records request.

Property and Land Records

The Greene County Recorder's office is at 1 E Main Street, Bloomfield, IN 47424, the same building as the clerk. The recorder phone is (812) 384-2020. Office hours are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The recorder maintains all recorded land documents in the county, including deeds, mortgages, liens, releases, surveys, and plat maps.

Doxpop covers Greene County property records online. At doxpop.com, you can search by name or parcel for recorded documents across 47 Indiana counties. The platform holds more than 25 million indexed documents statewide. Basic searches are free. Document images carry a small per-page fee. Doxpop's free Property Watch service alerts you any time a new document is recorded against your Greene County property. This is a useful tool for fraud protection and staying informed about encumbrances on your land.

For in-person access, the recorder's office has public terminals during regular hours. Copies of recorded documents are typically $1 per page. Call (812) 384-2020 before visiting to confirm current fees and hours.

Vital Records

Birth and death certificates for events in Greene County are issued by the Indiana Department of Health, not the county clerk. Order at in.gov/health/vital-records by mail, online, or in person. Birth certificates cost $10 per copy and death certificates cost $8 per copy. You need valid government-issued ID and a completed application form.

Marriage licenses are a separate matter. The Greene County Clerk issues them, and they are indexed in the state's Marriage License Public Lookup system at public.courts.in.gov/MLPL. The search covers licenses from 1993 to the present and is free. For records before 1993 or for certified copies, contact the clerk at 812-384-8532 directly. Historical records may also be on file with the Greene County Historical Society.

How to Request Public Records

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3-1 and IC 5-14-3-3 gives any person the right to inspect and copy most government records. No reason is needed. You can request records in person, by phone, by mail, or by email. A written request is not always required, but it documents the process and starts the seven-day response clock for formal requests.

If a request is denied or an agency does not respond in time, the Indiana Public Access Counselor can step in. The PAC is free and available at in.gov/pac, by phone at 317-234-0906, or by email at pac@opac.in.gov. The PAC issues advisory opinions and often resolves disputes without formal hearings.

Exemptions apply to some records. Juvenile files, certain law enforcement records, and personal data in agency databases can be withheld. The agency must state the legal basis for any denial. You are entitled to any non-exempt portion of a record even if part is withheld.

Business Records and State Databases

Indiana business entity records are searchable for free at inbiz.in.gov. Search by business name or registered agent to find LLCs, corporations, and other entities registered in Indiana. This is useful for verifying the status of a company operating in Greene County or checking its registration details with the Secretary of State.

For local trade name filings or assumed business name records in Greene County, check with the recorder's office at (812) 384-2020. Some DBA registrations are filed at the county level alongside the state filing.

Indiana State Police criminal history records are at in.accessgov.com/isp-apra. Statewide court record guidance is at in.gov/courts/public-records. Greene County cases that moved to the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court are held at the state level, not at the county clerk's office.
