How to Search the Fillmore Court Docket
Begin with Indiana MyCase, the public face of Odyssey records. Pick Putnam County in the Court field. There is no Fillmore court selector. No municipal or town court entry appears in the current dropdown. Case type and local rules control the venue. A Fillmore-related matter lands in either Putnam Circuit Court or Putnam Superior Court.
A cause number is your best search key. Citation number, party or business name, and attorney also work. Filter by Criminal & Citation, Civil, Family, or Probate. Advanced Search narrows things by open or closed status and filing dates. Expect a possible captcha, and know that broad result sets get capped.
- Choose the Case, Name, or Attorney search tab.
- Select Putnam County and the relevant case category.
- Enter the cause number, citation, business, party, or attorney details.
- Open the matching result and compare its court, type, status, and CCS events.
- Call the Putnam County Clerk at 765-653-2648 for the official file, certification, or an unlinked document.
Fillmore Dockets Use County Search
MyCase sorts Putnam trial cases by county and court. The town where something happened never matters. Putnam Circuit carries the prefix 67C01, while Putnam Superior uses 67D01. The county code 67 marks Putnam. Once a result appears, the court prefix is the clearest routing clue you have.
| Search choice | Use for a Fillmore case |
|---|---|
| Putnam County | The verified court filter for Fillmore-related trial cases |
| Criminal & Citation | Criminal cases, infractions, and traffic citations |
| Civil | Tort, collection, plenary, small-claims, and other civil records |
| Family or Probate | Cases assigned to those categories, subject to access limits |
An "All Odyssey Courts" search helps only when the county is a mystery, because it returns a far broader result set. For Fillmore, Putnam County is the sound starting point.
The Fillmore Municipal Court
No Fillmore Municipal Court appears in the Indiana court directory or the live MyCase dropdown. So the town has no judge of its own. It has no docket days, courtroom, payment portal, or court clerk. The real judicial record lives with Putnam County's Circuit and Superior courts.
The Putnam County Clerk holds the official records for both. Circuit is 765-653-5315. Superior is 765-653-2658. The Magistrate sits at 765-301-9197, and the Clerk can be reached at 765-653-2648. Anything a Magistrate hears stays filed under the underlying Circuit or Superior cause, never under a Fillmore docket.
Fillmore Court Docket Context
STATS Indiana put Fillmore at 549 residents on July 1, 2023. That ranked it fifth. The official Putnam County lineup places it behind the city profiles. State and county sources both list it as a Putnam place. A town this small has thin web information of its own. Yet access to county court records stays open to anyone.
County court access stays centralized. One clerk, one MyCase county filter, and the two trial-court prefixes cover Fillmore the same way they cover the rest of Putnam County.
Fillmore Court Dates and Settings
Fillmore has no separate court calendar of its own. Instead, find the case in MyCase. Open the CCS to the newest setting, notice, continuance, or reset entry. The date you see could be an initial hearing, pretrial, motion hearing, trial, review, proceedings supplemental, or something else. Bear in mind the first date listed may no longer be current.
| Date | The scheduled day, checked against all later CCS events. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated start time, which the assigned court can confirm. |
| Courtroom | The location shown in the latest setting or official notice. |
| Judge | The judicial officer assigned to that setting, subject to later change. |
| Setting Type | The purpose of the event, such as pretrial, motion, trial, or review. |
Check the cause prefix before calling Circuit or Superior. When the underlying court is unclear, just ask the clerk. The courthouse counter is open during published court-office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Fillmore Court Docket Terms
The event timeline in Indiana goes by the name Chronological Case Summary, usually shortened to CCS. Every judicial event gets a dated line there. Still, the CCS is not the full case file. It is not a transcript of what anyone said in court. The Indiana court glossary is the source that defines the court and CCS terms.
That glossary makes plain reading of a Fillmore court docket easier. For the official case file, the clerk remains the source.
- Setting
- A scheduled court event, not always a trial.
- Continuance
- A postponement that should be followed by a later setting or order.
- Disposition
- The court-entered outcome; read the specific order rather than the label alone.
- Certified copy
- A clerk-authenticated record, unlike a browser printout.
Fillmore Traffic Tickets
A traffic ticket written near Fillmore routes through Putnam Superior Court. The county clerk handles it, not a town court. In MyCase, search by citation number, cause number, or party. Select Putnam County and Criminal & Citation. If the ticket shows no case number, call the clerk before paying online.
Keep in mind the citation issue date is never the trial date. Putnam's official traffic page lays out the response process for payment, denial, or eligible deferral. A denial leads to a later trial setting. Read the CCS for the filed case, current date, plea or response, payment, deferral, judgment, and disposition.
Payment and contest details live with the Putnam County traffic court records. Keep any Fillmore court docket search anchored to the specific citation and its county court file.
Fillmore Town Issues Versus Dockets
Putnam County's Building and Planning page sends complaints inside Fillmore to the town. It does not send them to county planning. That is just an administrative routing rule. It does not create a Fillmore court, hand judicial records to planning staff, or turn a complaint log into a court docket. For court matters, use MyCase and the Putnam County Clerk. For a town code or planning complaint, follow the county page and contact Fillmore directly through a channel you have confirmed yourself. Keep the two tracks separate.
The county Building and Planning page is the official source for the town-versus-county distinction. The county does not publish a verified Fillmore town-hall phone or address here. Confirm any town contact before you rely on it. A docket question never goes to a planning office anyway.
Where Fillmore Cases End Up
With no verified municipal court, a Fillmore judicial matter lands in Putnam County's courts. Superior Court takes traffic, small claims, and its assigned criminal and civil categories. Circuit Court handles assigned civil and criminal work. It also handles probate, guardianship, trust, adoption, tax, juvenile, and other listed matters. Confidentiality rules can change what appears online.

The case prefix decides the local court after filing. A Fillmore address alone does not choose Circuit or Superior. See the Putnam County court docket for county-wide routing detail.
Fillmore Court Docket Scale
Indiana reports its court statistics through trial-court and probation data. There is no separate Fillmore caseload series. For Putnam County, the 2024 population is 37,804. The county has two judges, one magistrate, and one part-time commissioner or referee. That makes four court-of-record officers overall. A solid Fillmore case count is not available from these figures.
The Indiana trial and probation statistics hub is where the state publishes official county-level data.
The statewide docket source can show where Fillmore sits inside Putnam County's court system. It will not hand you a town-level filing count. It will not give a clearance rate either. For county-level numbers, turn to the official Putnam court workbooks. For a single case timeline, the case's CCS entries are the right tool. Those two sources answer different questions.
Public Access to Fillmore Court Records
Indiana presumes its court records are open. A statute, a rule, or a court order can limit that access. Public MyCase data may show a case header. It may also show the CCS, court settings, and some linked orders. What it cannot promise is every pleading, exhibit, older paper file, financial update, or restricted case. So a thin result on a Putnam County docket search does not always mean a thin file.
What about excluded records and protected information? The Indiana Access to Court Records Rule 5 is the controlling source.
The rule makes clear that a missing Fillmore result or document can reflect a lawful restriction. It does not mean the court file is absent.
Access rule: Rule 1 states the open-access presumption. Rule 5 protects listed confidential records and personal information. Administrative Rule 9 governs electronic access, courthouse calendars, and compiled-data requests.
For an unlinked public filing or a certified record, ask the Putnam County Clerk. Mail requests go to PO Box 546, Greencastle, IN 46135. Include the court, cause number, exact document and date. Add your contact details. Say whether you need a plain or certified copy, and confirm fees and payment arrangements before mailing anything.
Fillmore Court Docket Records
The CCS is the index of events. Behind each entry sits a filed document: a complaint, motion, response, order, judgment, or exhibit. A certified copy carries clerk authentication. A transcript comes through the court reporter. Choosing the right record type saves time and keeps your request narrow.
MyCase is best for finding the cause number and a public event date. The clerk keeps the official court file, current balance, certification, and older paper. The reporter handles hearing testimony. Fillmore town or planning contacts hold none of these county judicial records.
Fillmore Court Docket Fallback
If a docket search fails, check the Putnam County filter and category. Try the exact cause number without hyphens or leading zeroes. Broaden a name carefully. An absent result can stem from historical conversion, a bad filter, an expungement, sealing, confidentiality, or another access rule, so do not treat it as proof that no case exists.
Call the Putnam County Clerk at 765-653-2648 for an official-record question, an older file, or a public-copy request. For a current setting, call the assigned court; for testimony, call the reporter. The county publishes no verified current Fillmore town contact page, so do not send a court question to an unverified address or phone.
