The Boone County Records Lookup page gives you online access to recorded documents. The document index goes back to January 1988 for deeds and January 1989 for all other recorded documents. Boone County has partnered with Doxpop for online document access. Some free searches are available through Doxpop, though more advanced features need a paid subscription.

If you need to search older records that are not in the online index, you will need to visit the recorder's office in Lebanon during business hours. Staff can help you find documents that predate the digital index. In-person inspection of records is free under IC 5-14-3-3.

The Indiana Secretary of State business search is another free tool available to Lebanon residents who need to look up business filings in Boone County.

Search Lebanon Court Records

Court records for Lebanon are held by the Boone County courts. The statewide mycase.in.gov portal lets you search these records for free. You can search by name, case number, or attorney. The tool covers civil, criminal, family, probate, and traffic cases. Most Boone County courts use the Odyssey Case Management System, which feeds into the state portal.

The results you see on mycase.in.gov are not official records. They show case details, parties, charges, and court events. For certified copies that you can use for legal matters, go to the Boone County Clerk's office in Lebanon. The clerk handles all court filings for the county and can issue certified copies.

Note: Certain cases like juvenile matters are confidential and do not appear in the online search for Lebanon or any other city in Indiana.
