BELMONT COUNTY · PUBLIC-RECORDS TRANSPARENCY GRADE
B
18/24
Belmont County gets a B.
Sunshine Law treats records as public by default. AG runs Sunshine Audits to enforce. Booking photos public statewide. No unified court portal — fragmentation across 88 counties is the drag.
Note: Statewide grade applies — no separate local grade yet computed for Belmont County.
