White Pages and Ohio Public Records Law

Ohio has one of the strongest open records laws in the country. The Ohio Public Records Act (ORC 149.43) says that anyone can ask for records from any public office. You do not have to give your name. You do not have to say why you want them. Butler County offices must follow this law. If they refuse, you have the right to push back.

Most Butler County white pages data falls under this law. Court records, property files, recorded documents, and sheriff reports are all public. The law says offices must hand over records "promptly." They can charge for copies but not for the time spent finding them. Butler County charges $0.10 per page for regular copies. Some offices send records by email for free if you ask.

If a Butler County office denies your records request, you can file a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims under ORC 2743.75. The fee is $25. The office gets three business days to fix the issue. If they don't, the court can force them to release the records and may award up to $1,000 in damages. The Open Meetings Act (ORC 121.22) also makes meeting minutes from Butler County boards and commissions part of the public record.
