About
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.

Collectively, we are Superior Court Clerks of Georgia. But there are several organizations through which clerks conduct business as a group and in which clerks participate as leaders and members. Find out more about each one below.
Association
The professional, legal, and political arm of clerks, the Superior Court Clerks’ Association of Georgia, Inc. represents the profession of Superior Court Clerk and is funded by dues paid from its members.
Authority
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority was created by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1993 to implement online access to real and personal property records held in each clerk’s local office. The Authority also maintains the statewide UCC index and administers the Notary Public registration system.
COAG
Clerks join with Probate Judges, Sheriffs, and Tax Commissioners to form the Constitutional Officers Association of Georgia, a non-profit state association that empowers its members to better serve Georgia citizens on the county level through increased professionalism and cooperation among its members and other organizations.
Council
As a state agency, the Council represents Clerks and the interests of their office to other state agencies while carrying out duties assigned by acts of the Georgia General Assembly.
Retirement
The Board of the Superior Court Clerks’ Retirement Fund of Georgia oversees the administration of retirement benefits to eligible clerks.
Training
The Training Council is responsible for the curriculum and methods of instruction by which new clerks are trained and sitting clerks are recertified annually, as required by state law.
