Copy fees follow the state schedule of $1.00 for the first page and $0.50 for each page after that.
Note: Owasso straddles two counties, so check both Rogers and Tulsa County courts when looking for criminal case records.

Tulsa County Court Records for Owasso
A small part of Owasso sits in Tulsa County. Criminal cases from that area go through the Tulsa County District Court. The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office at (918) 596-5600 handles jail operations and booking records for the county. If you are not sure which county your case is in, search both Rogers and Tulsa County on OSCN. The case filing will tell you which court has jurisdiction.

Search Owasso Criminal Cases Online
The Oklahoma State Courts Network (OSCN) is the best free tool for looking up Owasso criminal records in Rogers County. Search by name, case number, or attorney. You can view case types, filing dates, and all docket entries. Criminal felonies use the CF prefix, misdemeanors use CM, and traffic cases use TR. The system runs all day.
For cases filed in Tulsa County, use the Tulsa County OSCN search instead. If you are not sure which county a case is in, try both. Results show case styles, assigned judges, hearing dates, and every action the court took on the case.
On Demand Court Records (ODCR) is another search option. Basic searches are free. Scanned document images require a subscription. Using both OSCN and ODCR gives the most complete picture of Owasso criminal records.
Owasso Municipal Court
The Owasso Municipal Court handles traffic citations and misdemeanor violations within city limits. The court is located at the Owasso Police Department complex. Citation lookup and payment services are available in person. The Municipal Court deals with city code violations, not state-level criminal charges. Felonies and state misdemeanors from Owasso go to the Rogers County or Tulsa County District Court.
Contact the Municipal Court clerk for questions about citations, court dates, or payment options. Paying a fine typically counts as entering a guilty or no contest plea. If you want to fight a charge, appear on your scheduled court date instead of paying.
State Criminal Record Tools
The OSBI CHIRP portal provides official criminal history reports covering Owasso and all of Oklahoma. The cost is $15.00 per name search under 74 O.S. 150.9.

Expungement for Owasso Cases
Oklahoma's expungement law at 22 O.S. 18 lets certain criminal records be sealed. If you were arrested in Owasso but not charged, had charges dropped, completed a deferred sentence, or have an old misdemeanor conviction, you may qualify. The law has sixteen categories of eligibility.
File the petition at the Rogers County District Court in Claremore (or Tulsa County if that is where the case was filed). OSBI charges $150 for processing. Court fees run $50 to $200. It takes roughly 30 to 45 days. Once sealed, the record is treated as if it never happened. A local attorney can help with the paperwork and eligibility questions.
