Clerk of Court
The Clerk of the Circuit Court is responsible under Florida Statutes 34.032 for recording and handling all minutes and related duties for all misdemeanors, small claims and traffic cases for the County Court. The Clerk of the Court is the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, auditor, recorder and custodian of all County funds.
Provisions of the Florida Constitution which have governed the people for over 150 years, established the Clerk of the Circuit Court as an elected public trustee and set in place at the county level a system of "checks and balances" which has been proven to serve the public well.
