This page walks you through how to search records, which offices hold what, and where to go when you need copies of public files tied to Broken Arrow.

Tulsa County Court Clerk

Broken Arrow falls under Tulsa County for most public records. The Tulsa County Court Clerk at 500 South Denver Ave., Room 200, Tulsa, OK 74103 is the main office for court filings that involve Broken Arrow residents. District court cases, including civil suits, family law matters, probate files, and criminal cases all go through this office. You can call them at 918-596-5420.

Hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. The Court Clerk also opens on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. That is unusual for Oklahoma courthouses. Most close on weekends entirely. If you live in Broken Arrow and need to search court records or pick up copies, the Saturday window can save you a weekday trip to downtown Tulsa.

Fees for copies follow state law. Standard pages cost $0.25 each. Certified copies are $1.00 per page. These rates are set by the Oklahoma Open Records Act under Title 51, Section 24A.5. No office can charge more than what the statute allows.

Broken Arrow Municipal Court

Broken Arrow has its own Municipal Court. It is at 2304 South 1st Place, Broken Arrow, OK 74012. Call 918-259-8424 for case info. You can also reach the court at 918-451-8558. The court handles city ordinance violations, traffic tickets from Broken Arrow police, and certain misdemeanor cases that fall under city code.

Most municipal court dockets are not online. That is a key thing to know. If you search OSCN and can't find a case for someone in Broken Arrow, it may be because the case went through municipal court instead of district court. OSCN only covers district court cases. Municipal court records have to be looked up by calling the court or going in person.

The court sits on cases like code violations, noise complaints, public nuisance charges, and minor traffic matters. More serious charges get sent up to the Tulsa County District Court. If you are not sure which court has the case you need, call the Municipal Court first. They can tell you whether it is in their system or if you need to check at the county level instead.

Note: Broken Arrow Municipal Court records are separate from Tulsa County District Court records. You may need to check both.

Broken Arrow has several types of public records available through county and city offices.

These include court records, the City Clerk's office, and other public files tied to Broken Arrow in Tulsa County.

Broken Arrow City Clerk

Curtis Green has served as Broken Arrow City Clerk since July 2018. The City Clerk's office is the custodian of city records. That includes council agendas, meeting minutes, ordinances, resolutions, and other official city documents. The mailing address is P.O. Box 610, Broken Arrow, OK 74013.

To get copies of city records, you need to fill out an Open Records Request Form. The city requires a valid photo ID and charges fees based on the type and size of the request. Processing times vary. Simple requests may be done same day. Larger requests that need staff time can take a few business days.

The City Clerk does not hold court records or property records. Those sit with the Tulsa County Court Clerk and County Clerk respectively. But if you need city council documents, public meeting records, or copies of local ordinances, the City Clerk is where to go. Broken Arrow uses a council-manager form of government, so council meeting records are a big part of what this office holds.
