Here's where to look for the records most people ask about in Bourbon County:
- Court case files: contact the Bourbon County Clerk of the District Court, Melissa Trim, at 620-223-0780 or the Bourbon County District Court, 210 S. National Ave., PO Box 868, Fort Scott, KS 66701
- Marriage and divorce records: see marriage and divorce records; county research places these records on the courthouse third floor in District Court
- Probate, wills, and estates: see Probate Division of the District Court; probate is handled through District Court, not a separate county probate court
- Criminal and arrest records: see arrest records and court charges; the Bourbon County Attorney files charges in District Court after prosecution starts
- Jail roster: see inmate records or call the Bourbon County Jail at 620-223-2380 for current bail, charges, and case numbers
- Active warrants: see warrant records; no complete official active-warrant list was found, so District Court, Municipal Court, sheriff, and jail channels may all matter
- Other county records: contact the Bourbon County Clerk, 210 S. National Ave., Fort Scott, KS 66701, 620-223-3800 ext. 100, countyclerk@bourboncountyks.org; written KORA requests are preferred
