County Clerk Responsibilities

The Clerk-Recorder’s Office is open for all in-person services between the hours of 8:30am and 4:30pm.  Customers will be assisted on a first "come first served" basis.   The number of customers in the lobby area is strictly regulated, so it may be necessary to wait in the hallway for your turn to be assisted.  

To avoid wait time, documents to be recorded, Clerk filings, copy order requests, and vital records certificate requests may also be submitted by any of the following: 

• Drop box located outside the Clerk Recorder’s Office door.  Self service forms are available on our forms page and next to the drop box.
• US Mail or Express mail
• VitalChek online service (vital record copies only)

If you have any questions please contact us directly by phone at:
