Understanding Indiana Expungement Law

While the expungement law does contain certain exceptions, these general rules apply to most expungements:

• Expungement of Dismissed cases – can be expunged in 1 year (newer cases are often automatically expunged after 60 days)

• Expungement of Misdemeanor convictions – can be expunged 5 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of AMS convictions – can be expunged 5 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of Level 6 felony convictions – can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of D Felony convictions – can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction

• Expungement of Major felony convictions – Some (but not all) major felony convictions can be expunged 8 years after the date of your last conviction

Remember that these are general rules. For a more detailed look at the rules, it may be helpful to look at the Indiana Expungement Law Guide. You only receive one expungement per lifetime (although this does not apply to cases that have been dismissed). Lastly, it is important to note that while most cases can be sealed (meaning that they are not visible to the public), there are some cases that can be expunged but not sealed.

The Expungement Process in Floyd County, Indiana

I assist clients throughout Floyd County with their expungement needs, and the process centers at the City-County Building located right at Hauss Square in New Albany. This central spot makes it straightforward for people coming from the historic downtown streets, the growing neighborhoods in Georgetown, or the quieter spots around Greenville.

The City-County Building at Hauss Square Serves as the Central Filing Location

Petitions move through the clerk’s office on the second floor of the courthouse, where the staff handles the local forms and records that keep the process moving efficiently for everyone in the county.

Residents Along the Ohio River and in Nearby Towns Benefit from the Convenient Courthouse Access

The location at Hauss Square puts the courts within easy reach for clients living near the riverfront or traveling in from Georgetown and Greenville, which helps reduce the time spent on paperwork and travel.
