Floyd County Clerk of Superior Court

Floyd County Clerk of Superior Court is a constitutional office that files and safeguards land and property records, civil case files, criminal case files, and related Superior Court records. The current clerk is Mary Hardin Thornton. The GSCCCA statewide profile lists the clerk's year elected as 2025, county code 57, chief deputy Tina Holderfield, legal organ Rome News Tribune, and office hours Monday through Friday except holidays.

The clerk supports four Floyd County Superior Court judges and manages record-keeping, information-management, and financial-management work for the judicial system. The office also provides jury call-in, Board of Equalization support, real estate records, Superior Court civil and criminal records, trade-name registration, military discharge filing, Georgia Legal Services access, notary public appointments, notary online classes, and bar admissions. Clerk employees can explain office procedures and fees, but they cannot give legal advice.

The GSCCCA clerk profile confirms the Floyd County Clerk of Superior Court directory listing and statewide services.

The statewide profile is useful when a requester needs the official clerk identity, hours, county code, and directory-level service list before contacting the local office.

Floyd County Clerk Record Duties

The clerk's duties are broader than case search. Superior Court civil and criminal files, domestic case filings, felony records, land and lien records, notary records, jury records, and certified copies all move through this office. The staff page separates work among criminal clerks, civil clerks, courtroom clerks, deed room staff, jury management, receivers, and accounting.

• File and maintain Superior Court civil, criminal, divorce, and domestic case records.
• Record deeds, liens, UCC filings, plats, trade names, military discharges, and real estate instruments.
• Issue and certify copies, appeal records, subpoenas, and selected court documents.
• Support jury management, courtroom records, Board of Equalization, notary appointments, and bar admissions.
• Maintain forms, standing orders, fee schedules, and e-certified document access through approved systems.

The clerk staff page lists department contacts for criminal, civil, courtroom, deed room, jury, receiver, and accounting work.

Those staff divisions help explain why a deed-room copy, a felony case question, and a jury issue may not be answered by the same employee.

Request Floyd County Certified Copies

Certified copies from the Floyd County Clerk of Superior Court are used when a plain printout is not enough, such as for appeal records, name restoration, divorce decrees, recorded instruments, agency proof, or court filings. The request works best when it identifies the case number or book and page, the party names, the document type, and whether certification or exemplification is required.

1. Identify the record type first: Superior Court case file, divorce decree, deed, lien, trade name, or another clerk-held document.
2. Search the available online system or gather case number, party names, filing date, book and page, or instrument type.
3. Call 706-291-5190 or contact the correct department to confirm copy count, certification need, and current total cost.
4. Submit the request in person or by mail to the Clerk of Superior Court, using the deed-room mailing detail for real estate copy requests when applicable.
5. Pay the required copy and certification fees, then pick up the copy or wait for the office to return it by mail.

Floyd Clerk Request Fields

Floyd County research did not identify one universal clerk request form for every document type. A practical records request should still include the fields the office needs to identify, price, and return the document. Real estate copy requests by mail should identify the document type and book/page number when known.

Floyd County Clerk Fees

The Floyd Clerk fee schedule covers filings, recordings, publications, copies, certifications, liens, UCC filings, notary matters, and trade names. Copy pricing changes based on whether staff assistance, certification, oversized copies, or electronic/faxed delivery is needed.

The fee schedule is the best local source for current filing and copy costs before submitting a civil filing, recording, or certified-copy request.

Floyd County Clerk Forms

The clerk forms page groups local Superior Court materials for civil cases, domestic relations, divorce, criminal records, protective orders, notary, standing orders, e-certified documents, and real estate. Forms are helpful for self-represented filers, but the clerk cannot decide which form fits a person's facts.

The form index supports records work because it identifies the local packets and standing orders that later become part of a Superior Court case file.

• Pro se divorce with children and without children packets for domestic filings.
• Case initiation, case disposition, summons, and service by publication forms.
• Family Violence TPO, Dating Violence TPO, and Stalking TPO materials.
• Notary, standing order, e-certified document, and real estate resources.

Floyd Clerk Online and Deed Records

Superior Court case search is linked from the clerk site and floydcourts.com, but the research notes that direct field inspection was blocked by a 403 response. Treat that search as an official access channel, while confirming fields and availability manually. Magistrate Court records are separate, and the Magistrate page links its own public records search.

Real estate records use the Cott Systems Floyd land records index. Guest users can view the index only. Viewing or printing real estate documents requires a subscription, with posted subscription options from one day through one year and a per-page print cost. The clerk's real estate page also says effective 1/1/2025 all self-filers must e-file real estate documents and all filers must be ID verified through the Clerks' Authority.

The clerk real estate page explains deed-room copy procedures, original signature requirements, recording fees, transfer tax, intangible tax, foreclosure publication, and mail return of originals.

Deed-room instructions matter because real estate documents follow different mailing, recording, and copy rules than Superior Court case files.

The clerk homepage is the starting point for the office's case search, forms, staff, real estate, and fee resources.

Using the clerk homepage first helps separate case search, deed records, forms, staff contacts, and fee information before a request is sent.
