What are LaGrange County Public Records?

As defined by Indiana Code 5-14-3, LaGrange County public records are information created and preserved by the county's public agencies. Public records may include photographs, recordings, maps, papers, books, and other materials exposing the functioning of governmental agencies in these public records. Public documents should be exposed to the public, according to the law, to maintain openness and accountability in government entities.

Users are able to search third-party websites remotely for multiple records at a time with just the name of the record subject and their last known location, including the city, county, or state. Third-party sites are not sponsored by government agencies. Because of this, record availability and results may vary.
