Local record guide
Local profile
Stockport, a place of 483 people, is in Morgan County, whose county seat is McConnelsville. Court and property records sit with Morgan County, and birth and death certificates come from the State of Ohio. Stockport's own offices are in the cards above, and our Morgan County page lists each county office.
Abandoned mine records
What the records show here, and the office that holds the mine maps.
Stockport sits over the Appalachian Region and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. The USGS coal fields map is drawn at a small scale, so it shows the ground, not a parcel.
Nothing at all is on record inside the town limits: no mine, no shaft, no adit and no pit. That is what the files say, and it is not a clearance. Those files record a working only where one was catalogued or drawn on a survey sheet, and on coal ground the sheets are thin: the maps that show the rooms and the pillars are held by ODNR Ohio Mines Locator (Mines of Ohio) and that office is where to ask for them.
Ohio abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.

Straight answers
Open only the answer you need.
Inspecting records is free under Ohio's Public Records Act, and an office may charge only the cost of making copies and postage. Clerk of courts case searches are free, a certified Ohio birth or death record costs $21.50 whether or not a record is found, and probate courts sell certified marriage copies for a few dollars.
Ask the Stockport police department records section for incident and crash reports if the town has its own force; otherwise the Morgan County Sheriff's Office keeps reports for the area. Crash reports sent to the state can be found on the Ohio Department of Public Safety crash retrieval site, and the official copy comes from the agency that worked the crash.
Cases filed in Morgan County are heard by the Morgan County Court of Common Pleas and the municipal or county court. Ohio has no statewide trial court portal, so the clerk of courts runs its own online case search.
Deeds, mortgages and liens are recorded by the Morgan County Recorder. The Morgan County Auditor sets property values and posts parcel data, and the Morgan County Treasurer mails tax bills and collects payments.
Any Ohio local health department, including the one serving Morgan County, issues certified birth certificates for births anywhere in Ohio, and death certificates come from the local office or the Office of Vital Statistics, $21.50 each. Marriage records are kept by the probate court where the license was issued.
Ohio's Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation releases criminal history through fingerprint checks, not open name searches. The clerk of courts case search shows criminal cases by name.
Ohio's Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43, requires public records to be made available promptly and copies within a reasonable period of time; it sets no fixed number of days.
