Our current Clerk is Cindy Stuart. The Clerk is committed to protecting and preserving the public trust. The Hillsborough County Clerk of Court & Comptroller provides a wide range of vital services to the public. Electronically certified records, adoptions, marriages, divorces, criminal and civil records, deeds and foreclosures, passport applications and alimony payments are just some of the array of services the Office provides. Above all, the Clerk’s Office is committed to integrity, transparency and accountability. An elected Clerk of Court has been a part of the Florida Constitution since 1835, and it is rapidly changing to meet the demands of the digital citizen. A technological revolution is transforming the organization office, including millions of court records filed electronically in just the past few years. The IT Department has played a crucial role in making this happen. Financial Watch: As Comptroller, the office serves as an independent watchdog over Hillsborough County finances. It conducts annual audits and safeguards hundreds of millions of dollars in county funds. It handles the payroll for Hillsborough County government and it pays the bills. It tracks thousands of pieces of county-owned equipment. It delivers the mail to over 250 locations at all county offices. Clerks keep the minutes of every Hillsborough County Commission meeting and the Value Adjustment Board. Supporting our Courts: Court Clerks protect 13th Judicial Circuit Court records, swear in witnesses, and record evidence at trials. They collect court-ordered fines, fees, and costs - a portion of which supports our operations and that of other Clerks around the state. The Office also supports one of the foundations of Democracy by summoning thousands of jurors every year.
