Cass County Clerk of Courts

The Cass County Clerk is the primary office for court records. It sits in the courthouse in downtown Logansport. The clerk handles filings for both the Cass Circuit Court and the Cass Superior Court. Civil, criminal, family, and small claims cases all go through this office. Staff can search records by name or case number if you visit or call.

Walk-in visits work well if you need to see full paper files. Phone calls are good for quick checks on whether a record exists. The clerk staff deal with public search requests on a regular basis and can point you to the right file. Certified copies carry a small fee. Basic searches at the counter are free. Hours run Monday through Friday during normal business hours, though it is smart to call first to confirm.

The Cass County government website at co.cass.in.us has contact details and some department info. It is a good starting point if you want office hours or phone numbers before you visit.

Court Records Search

Indiana's free court records tool is called MyCase. It covers Cass County and every other county in the state. You can search by name, case number, or filing date. The results show case type, status, filing date, and the names of everyone involved.

Go to public.courts.in.gov/mycase to start a search. Type a first and last name, then pick Cass County from the list. You will see all matching cases in the county. Click on any case to view docket entries, hearing dates, and case details. There is no cost to search or view case info on MyCase. It runs on any phone or computer with a web browser.

Cass County has two courts. The Circuit Court and the Superior Court each handle different types of cases. Both feed into the MyCase system. So when you search, you get results from both courts in one place. This is the fastest way to do a people search through Cass County court records. Indiana's public access law under IC 5-14-3 makes these records open to everyone without needing to state a reason.

Note: Some cases may be sealed by court order and will not show up in MyCase results.

Cass County Property Records

Property records help with people search in a way that court records sometimes cannot. Not everyone has a court case on file. But many people own or have owned land or a home. The Cass County Assessor and Recorder both keep property data that is open to the public.

The Assessor tracks property values, tax assessments, and ownership details. You can search by owner name or property address. This is useful for finding where someone lives or what property they own in Cass County. Property record cards show lot size, building info, and assessed value. The Assessor office is in the courthouse in Logansport.

The Recorder keeps deeds, mortgages, and liens. Deed records show when property changed hands and who the buyer and seller were. Mortgage records show loans tied to a property. Lien records can tell you if someone owes money connected to their land or home. All of these are public records. You can visit the Recorder office in Logansport to search in person, or call to ask about a specific property. Some records may also be on the county website.

State Resources for Cass County

Beyond local records, Indiana has state-level tools that are useful for a people search. These cover the whole state, so they pick up records that might not show in Cass County files alone.

The Indiana State Police offers criminal history checks at in.gov/isp/criminal-history-services. This costs $16.32 and shows arrests and convictions across Indiana. The Indiana Department of Correction has a free offender locator at in.gov/idoc/facilities/offender-locator that shows current and past state inmates. The sex offender registry at in.gov/idoc is another free tool.

• County jail roster at public.indianajail.gov for current local inmates
• Voter registration lookup at indianavoters.in.gov
• Vital records (birth, death, marriage) at in.gov/health/vital-records

Each of these tools adds a different layer to a people search. Court records show filings. Criminal history shows charges and outcomes. The DOC tool shows prison records. The jail roster shows current lockups. Voter data can confirm an address. Use them together for the most complete picture.

Public Records Access Law

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3 gives everyone the right to inspect and copy public records. This applies to all Cass County offices. You do not need to explain why you want to see a record. The law covers court files, property data, and most other government records.

There are some exceptions. Sealed court cases are off limits. Juvenile records are restricted. Certain personal info like social security numbers gets redacted before release. But the vast majority of records you would want for a people search are fully open. If a Cass County office denies your request, they must point to the specific law that allows the denial. You can appeal to the Indiana Public Access Counselor if you think a record was wrongly withheld.

Search Tips

Use a full name when searching. First and last name together gives the best results. If the name is common, add a middle name or date of birth to narrow things down.

Check more than one source. Someone who does not appear in court records might own property in Cass County. A person with no property might have a court case or show up in the state criminal history database. Using multiple tools gives you the best shot at finding what you need. Start with MyCase for court data, then try the Assessor for property, and the state tools for criminal and corrections records.

For older records or hard-to-find files, visit the courthouse in Logansport in person. The clerk and recorder staff handle these requests every day. They know where to look and can help you track down files that might not be in the online system yet.

Note: Some older paper records in Cass County may not yet be in any digital database.
