Notes
IMPORTANT CORRECTION: a search result for "Barry County Circuit Court e-filing/payments" (barrycountycourt.com) is NOT this court — that domain belongs to Barry County, MISSOURI's 39th Circuit Court (Cassville, MO; references Missouri's OSCA e-filing portal and courts.mo.gov). Flagging explicitly so this cross-state namespace collision isn't repeated in a future pass. All data in this row comes only from the genuine barrycounty.org (Michigan) site.

SCAO court code C05. Compiled from the Michigan SCAO trial court directory and this court's own website, last checked 2026-08-29. Confirm anything time-sensitive with the court directly.
