What is a superior court clerk? Superior court clerks have been around since the inception of the State of Georgia. "Clerk of Court" is one of four elected county offices created by the Georgia Constitution. Each of Georgia’s 159 counties has one. Clerks are the official record keepers of the county—they receive and maintain criminal and civil court filings and serve as custodian of county land and property records.
The Clerks’ Authority is excited to announce that the Filing Activity Notification System (F.A.N.S.) is “live!” F.A.N.S., which is a FREE service to notify property owners any time filings are made related to their registered property, as well as notify of filing activity related to UCCs (personal property), liens and plat filings. Individuals can simply go to https://fans.gsccca.org to register with an email address or telephone number. The system is voluntary and anyone may opt in. An informational webinar will be conducted on Thursday, January 26 at 10:00AM for Clerks and their staffs. To register, please go to www.gsccca.org/training.
