The Clerk of the Circuit Court is also the Clerk of County Clerk. His office is located in the County Courthouse. The office of the Clerk was created in Article V and Article VIII of the Florida Constitution. The Clerk is an officer of the court of justice whose responsibilities are mandated by the Constitution as well as state and local laws.

The office of the Clerk is a complex organization that performs a wide range of record keeping, information management, and financial management for the judicial system and County government. Pursuant to provisions of the Florida Constitution, which has governed the people for over 100 years, the role of the Clerk of Courts has been established in three main areas:

1. Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts
2. Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners, including serving as accountant, auditor, and custodian of county funds and records.
3. County Recorder

Within these areas, the Clerk of Court as an elected public trustee sets in place at the county level a system of “checks and balances” which has been proven to serve the public well.
