Welcome to the site of the Clerk of Superior Court of Fayette County. Our goal is to make this website user-friendly and to make all documents from this office accessible through the website. We continually strive to provide Fayette County residents with the highest level of professional public service.

The Clerk of the Superior Court is a Constitutional Officer, which means the position was created by an act of the Legislature in the State Constitution. The Clerk of the Superior Court has been a county Constitutional Officer since the framers of the Georgia Constitution of 1798 provided for election of the Clerk of Superior Court in each Georgia county. The Clerk is elected every four years.

The Clerk's role is as keeper of the records. The Clerk is responsible for protecting the integrity of public records and public funds, establishing an index and issuing every paper under the court seal.

I have served as your Clerk of Courts since my election to office in 2000, and I work for you - the citizens of Fayette County.
