County Clerk
The County Clerk is an elected official who serves as the clerk of the state supreme and county courts and is responsible for providing files, records, and indexes of papers in legal actions and proceedings. The Clerk also maintains judgment dockets and records of monies paid or ordered to be paid to court.
In addition to court duties, various statutes require that the County Clerk record deeds, mortgages, and liens; file maps, financing statements, and military discharges; process pistol permits and passports; qualify notary public appointments in the county; file oaths of office of county officials and employees; and act as the agent of the commissioner of motor vehicles to issue motor vehicle registrations and licenses.
