City of Dayton, Montgomery County, OH Public Records

• Where can I find access to sentencing information for an inmate in?
  The Ohio rehabilitation and correction department offers the open public search of their inmates, showing sentencing and parole hearing information. You can also see the mug shot of the person.
• Where can I find how much debt the City has on its books?
  Look for the local city government department that would have the information. Government data is not readily available online or at a physical location. You may have to make a FOIA freedom of information act request. City budgets are public records, but the statutes are unclear on how easy they should be to obtain, and I believe that they can not be cost-prohibitive or prohibitive in general. Journalists and concerned citizen groups, to name a couple, find it necessary to make an official FOIA request, and when that does not work, they go to court and have it enforced. Two places you can look on your own are newspapers that published a report about the city's budget, which is not the most reliable source as it can be skewed or have data omitted. The other method is looking up court records containing the city's name and budgets. Both ways don't have a high probability of offering the data, but it can be worth checking before making a formal request.
• Where can I find my family's old home, if it was moved when they built the highway thru the town or if it was destroyed? The address was 746 North Main Street?
  Libraries local to the area can have columns on micro-film or digitally recorded. Some of their services can be found online. Librarians assist many in researching and narrowing down where to look and save you time. Most services are not online, so going to the physical location may be the only access. Narrowing down a time frame is helpful when looking up this information.
• Where can I find arrest warrants?
  Montgomery County Sheriff handles Dayton, Ohio, warrants. The legal process section of the Montgomery county sheriff's webpage mentions serving warrants and tel. Number to their public records officer. But these are issued by courts and executed by the sheriffs or other law enforcement agencies in most cases. The Montgomery County Clerk of Court has a free online case search, and the clerk can be emailed where the warrant was issued by going to their site.
