Ohio Cities

Ohio has hundreds of cities and townships spread across 88 counties. Below are the major cities across the state. Criminal cases in Ohio go through the Court of Common Pleas in the county where the offense took place, not at a city office. Knowing which county your city falls in is the first step to finding the right court. The Clerk of Courts at the county level keeps all felony criminal case files and can make copies for you. Municipal courts in many cities handle misdemeanor cases and traffic offenses.
