Plain City, OH Public Records
Plain City is an incorporated village in Madison County, Ohio, with an estimated population of 4,374 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 3.1 square miles of land. That is up about 264 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Plain City Village Office
Plain City's own village government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the village clerk under Ohio's Public Records Act. Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the village; see the offices below.
