The Clerk, Recorder, Sheriff, and other offices are separate record custodians. Court: Clay County Circuit and Superior Courts operate within Indiana Judicial District 19. The Clerk's official responsibilities cover the county's criminal, traffic, civil, domestic, probate, juvenile, mental-health, and related court records.

Municipal courts and nearby local records

Municipal and local court coverage is separate from the county trial-court path. Custody: The Clay County Sheriff's Office is the county law-enforcement agency and the relevant local custodian for county jail and custody questions. A current public inmate-roster URL was not confirmed in the reviewed official state pages. Municipal: County zoning and building rules apply only outside municipal jurisdictions. Cities and towns may have separate police, courts, zoning, building, and records responsibilities; verify jurisdiction by address.
