Cannelton Court Docket Searches
The Indiana Odyssey court list shows no active Cannelton court. So begin with the venue line and cause number on your paperwork. A Perry Circuit Court case starts with 62C01. Plug that number into Indiana MyCase for a docket search. A party name works too. So does a citation or an attorney. The official public-access route is another way to look up current citations.
Online tools sometimes fall short. When they do, call Joan Hess, Perry County Circuit Court Clerk, at 812-547-3741. Her office keeps the official county files. Staff can also walk you through counter, mail, fax, plain-copy, and certified-copy options. To confirm a hearing setting, call Perry Circuit Court at 812-547-7048. And never send a state court request to a city department. The venue matters, not where the incident happened inside Cannelton.
- Read the issuing court and full number on the citation or notice.
- Use MyCase for a current Perry Circuit Court case.
- Use publicaccess when the document directs a citation search there.
- Ask the Perry clerk when a public file or order is not online.
- Use archival channels for an older 62H01 reference.
Cannelton's Abolished Court Number
Under Indiana Administrative Rule 8, the code 62H01 for Perry/Cannelton Town Court is marked abolished. Treat that identifier as history. It doesn't create an active Cannelton municipal court. Nor does it mean a current clerk, a hearing site, or a live city docket portal. Perry County's courts appear on the Odyssey list without any Cannelton entry.
An old file may still carry 62H01. Copy it down character for character. Include the filing date and case-type code too. Then ask the Perry County Circuit Court Clerk where that record now sits. The Indiana Archives clerk list is another official starting point for older court material. Knowing the history helps retrieval. It says nothing about an outcome or current status.
Inside the Cannelton Municipal Court
No active Cannelton Municipal Court exists to describe. The nearest local court identity is the abolished 62H01 Perry/Cannelton Town Court. Current official sources publish no sitting Cannelton judges. There are no docket days, payment rules, or city court calendar either. Any claim that Cannelton hears its own traffic, ordinance, or criminal matters today would clash with the state court list.
City hall still handles utilities, streets, building inspection, zoning, and the clerk-treasurer's office. None of that replaces Perry Circuit Court or its clerk. The official Cannelton site works well for city contacts and local notices. A cause number, court order, criminal charge, or hearing belongs with a court. Specifically, it belongs with whatever court the record names.
Cannelton City and Court Lanes
City records and court records sit with different keepers in Cannelton. City departments hold meeting records, ordinances, permits, utility material, and street information. The Perry County Circuit Court Clerk holds the state court side. That means pleadings, motions, judgments, orders, and certified copies. A city news page may announce local events. A chronological case summary is not what it gives you.
| Record sought | Start here | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| City ordinance or meeting record | Cannelton city government | A judicial case file |
| Current Perry court case | MyCase or Perry clerk | A city news item |
| Hearing confirmation | Court named on the notice | A general city contact |
| Older 62H01 file | Perry clerk or archives | An active town-court docket |
That split matters because it prevents a common delay. The clerk-treasurer can help with municipal records, yet no one should assume that office keeps an Indiana court's docket.
Finding Cannelton Court Dates
Verify any current Cannelton-related court date with the court named on the case. MyCase may list hearing rows for a Perry Circuit Court matter. Even so, Indiana doesn't promise one complete public web calendar. Not every court date appears there. Don't treat a filing date or status date as the next hearing.
| Case number | Use the full number to confirm Perry Circuit Court or another venue. |
|---|---|
| Date and time | Read the current hearing event, not an earlier filing row. |
| Location | Use the place on the court notice or confirmed case event. |
| Judicial officer | Record the judge or magistrate only when displayed. |
| Setting type | Distinguish an initial hearing, pretrial, trial, or compliance event. |
What if two Cannelton-related dates conflict? Call Perry Circuit Court at 812-547-7048. For the filed notice itself, ask the clerk at 812-547-3741. A city office cannot settle a dispute over a state court setting.
Cannelton Notice Sources Compared
The Cannelton city news area carries public notices and community updates. A post there might explain a city action or public event. It cannot show that a lawsuit was filed. Nor can it show a charge entered or an order signed by a judge. Those facts live in the court record.
Myth: Any city notice about a dispute is a Cannelton court docket entry.
Fact: A judicial event must be confirmed through the case number, MyCase, or the court clerk.
Keep a city notice's date and subject if it helps you spot the issue. Then search the legal party name or court number. MyCase itself warns that its public data isn't the official record, so a clerk-held file stays the final source for an eligible certified copy.
Cannelton Traffic Ticket Lookups
Before you run any Cannelton docket search, read the ticket in hand. Pull the citation number, the issue date, the court named on it, and the alleged violation. Also note the response date. Write down any case number already assigned. A ticket written in Cannelton does not guarantee a Cannelton court will hear it. And the old 62H01 identifier is no longer a working shortcut. That court no longer exists.
If the citation points to state public access, use Indiana publicaccess. If a Perry Circuit Court case number exists, MyCase is the better tool. Need to pay? The Perry County Circuit Court Clerk page lays out your options. Online, telephone, mail, in-person, and drop-box payments are all listed. Those are payment channels only. They do not mean every ticket can be paid. Confirm which court holds it and what its status is first.
Payment and contesting lead to different places. Paying may count as resolving the allegation as stated. Contesting sends the matter down a hearing path. Never let a response or appearance date pass while you wait on an online result. The citation itself is the place to confirm the right court and the deadline.
Cannelton's Place in Perry
Among Perry County's three incorporated communities in this set, Cannelton ranks second by population. The 2020 Census puts the city at 1,524. The official city site still lists an older local figure of 1,563, so treat any population claim with a date attached. These numbers explain which city pages appear here. They say nothing about lawsuits, tickets, or case volume.
Cannelton sits on the Ohio River and carries a long history, which can help you separate an older local reference from some other place with a similar name. Geography alone settles nothing, though. The issuing court and the complete cause number control any docket search.
How Cannelton Cases Reach the County
With no active Cannelton court listed, route current state cases from the actual citation, pleading, or notice. Perry Circuit Court serves as the county court of record, and its uniform number begins 62C01. Criminal, civil, probate, small-claims, juvenile, and traffic filings all use case-type codes inside that structure, subject to access limits.
Docket flow: Cannelton event or citation › named court and venue › Perry Circuit Court when assigned › Perry County Circuit Court Clerk record
A case can start in Cannelton and still not be a Cannelton city record. The flip side holds too. A city ordinance file or meeting record may hold no judicial case at all. For the wider picture, the Perry County court docket lays out the local court and clerk roles. MyCase indexes current cases. Old 62H01 references may require help from the clerk or an archive.
Older Cannelton Record Steps
Let an older Cannelton record search begin with the document itself. Keep the 62H01 number if it appears. Note the date, names, case code, sequence, and type of record cited. Never swap 62C01 in for the historical number. That creates a false identifier. Hand the Perry clerk the old reference plus the reason for the request instead.
- Photograph or transcribe the full old reference.
- Search MyCase without assuming the case was migrated.
- Ask the Perry clerk about paper, microfilm, or transferred custody.
- Check Indiana Archives or State Library sources for older holdings.
- Request a certified copy only from the office that now holds it.
Founded in 1837, Cannelton appears across Perry County historical sources of many kinds and many hands. An old newspaper item or a city history can nudge you toward a date. It cannot stand in for the original court record or prove any result.
Who Can See Cannelton Court Records
Indiana rules govern public access to state court records, so do not assume every Cannelton-related file is online. Access Rule 5 spells out confidential, sealed, excluded, protected, redacted, juvenile, and mental-health material. The MyCase access table shifts by case type. A record can exist even when nothing surfaces remotely.
Key rules:
Administrative Rule 9 governs electronic, courthouse, daily-calendar, and bulk access.
Access Rule 5 defines major restricted categories.
Access Rule 9 supplies a verified request, notice, hearing, and order process for excluded material.
Ordinary public files can be viewed at the courthouse during regular business hours. If an eligible item is missing, pursue it through the clerk or the judiciary request route. Bulk data runs through a separate state process and never overrides confidentiality.
Cannelton Federal Record Boundaries
A federal matter tied to Cannelton will show up in neither MyCase nor an old 62H01 file. That boundary trips up many searches. For federal trial matters, Perry County falls inside the Southern District of Indiana's Evansville Division. Appeals from that district move within the federal system, not through Perry Circuit Court. The Seventh Circuit's official site shows the federal appellate court serving Indiana.
This boundary keeps a federal appeal search from landing on Cannelton city government or the Perry County clerk. Federal case documents live in PACER and CM/ECF. The official PACER pricing page explains page charges, caps, waivers, audio charges, and announced fee changes.
PACER fees attach only to that separate federal record route. They are neither Perry clerk copy fees nor Cannelton city charges.
