Harmon County was created on June 2, 1909, when it was carved out of Greer County. It was named for Judson Harmon, who was serving as Governor of Ohio at the time. The county seat is Hollis. The courthouse sits near the center of town and is the only location for district court filings in the county. Under Oklahoma law, the court clerk must maintain all court records and make them available for public inspection, with exceptions for sealed and confidential records as defined under Title 10A and other provisions of the Oklahoma Statutes.
Some court records that predate 1909 may be held in Greer County, since Harmon County was part of Greer County before that date. If you are looking for an older record, it may be worth checking the Greer County clerk's office as well.
