Our Mission:

To provide the judicial system and the public with efficient, equal, transparent, and accountable services while preserving the integrity of all records filed within the office.

The circuit clerk is the clerk of the circuit court consisting of criminal, domestic relations, civil, and juvenile court and usually acts as the ex-officio recorder of the county.

The administrative duties of the circuit clerk are to maintain a record of all proceedings of the circuit courts and to prepare the dockets for these courts (ACA 16-20-102). The circuit clerk prepares summons and warrants, records orders, judgements, and injunctions authorized by the circuit court for delivery by county sheriff. The circuit clerk also maintains a file of all cases pending in either court, as well as a record of all past court cases and their disposition (ACA 16-20-303 and 16-20-304). In addition, the circuit clerk acts as a secretary to the jury commission by keeping a list of all prospective jurors (ACA 16-32-105).

The circuit clerk is also the ex-officio county recorder; and is responsible for recording deeds, mortgages, liens, and surety bonds, and many other orders and instruments which involve property within the county (ACA 14-15-401 et seq). The circuit clerk maintains a record of many miscellaneous items.
