This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, arrange release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. For an authoritative answer, use the government office or official portal that holds the record.
Official Paulding County lookup and records contacts
The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office operates the jail, current-inmate roster, warrant portal, and local records-request pathway. Its office is at 500 E. Perry Street, Paulding, OH 45879. The office phone is 419-399-3791, the toll-free line is 888-399-0171, fax is 419-399-3216, and the jail line is 419-399-2170. Records questions and requests go to Lt. Matt McDougall at 419-399-3791 through the sheriff’s official records-request policy. The researched material does not verify jail-records counter hours, a booking-photo fee, or a response deadline, so confirm those details with the office before visiting or paying.
Court contacts and hours
For a Municipal Court case, use Paulding County CaseLook or contact Paulding County Municipal Court at 201 E. Caroline St., Suite 2, Paulding, OH 45879, 419-399-5370. The lobby is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and phones are answered Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Municipal records are distinct from a jail booking file.

For Common Pleas matters, the court is at 115 N. Williams St., Suite 201, Paulding, OH 45879, 419-399-8220. Clerk Sarah J. Harpel’s office is in Room 104; the legal line is 419-399-8210, with weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Choose the record holder
Start with the custody stage and the office that controls it. Current custody, a possible individual photo, and local jail status belong to the sheriff’s official roster. A warrant search is not a custody confirmation, and a booking allegation is not a court result.
- Use the Paulding current-inmate portal for a person presently held in the local jail.
- Use the Paulding warrants portal for an official warrant lookup, then confirm an individual matter with the court or an attorney.
- Request a local booking file from the Sheriff’s Office when a person is no longer on the current roster or when an online result is incomplete.
- Use Municipal CaseLook for later municipal criminal or traffic case activity. It can take at least 24 hours or longer for court updates to appear.
- Use the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction offender search for state prison or supervision records, not new Paulding jail bookings.
- Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE detainee locator only for their respective federal or immigration custody systems.
