Welcome to the Clerk of Superior Court's on-line office. The Clerk of Superior Court is an elected official charged with the filing and safekeeping of land and property records as well as the civil and criminal files of the court.

The Office was created in 1798 by the state's constitution and is one of the four constitutional offices found in each county. The probate judge, tax commissioner and sheriff are the other three.

The duties of the clerk are statutory, varied and numerous. They are ministerial in nature and can be found in literally hundreds of statutes created by the legislature. In addition to the Official Code of Georgia the clerk is also obligated to follow the rules of the court for which he or she serves.

Responsibilities of the Clerk

The Office of Superior Court performs a varied range of record keeping, information management and financial management functions in the judicial system. This office provides court support to each of our four superior court judges. Generally, the Clerks's responsibilities as mandated by the Georgia State Code are as follows:

To file, record and index all documents related to real estate and personal property transactions in the county.
To file and maintain criminal and civil dockets as well as dockets on domestic suits.
To attend to the needs of the court in the performance of the duties of the clerk.
To keep in the Clerk's office all documents, records and all other things required by the Georgia Codes; and
To perform all other duties required by Georgia Law.
