What Brantley County Court Records Include

Superior court records in Brantley County cover the main case types handled by that court. Felony criminal cases generate files that include charging documents, motions, orders, and the final disposition - whether that is a plea, trial verdict, or dismissal. Civil cases at the superior court level include contract disputes, property actions, and claims above the magistrate court threshold.

Family law cases are also part of the superior court's docket. Divorce filings, child custody and support orders, adoptions, and related matters are all handled at this level and kept by the clerk. These records are public in most cases, though certain details in family law proceedings can be restricted by court order.

Real estate recordings are a substantial part of the Brantley County clerk's work. Deeds, mortgages, liens, plats, and easements recorded in the county are indexed in the GSCCCA database and searchable online. Georgia's Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 makes most of these records available to the public. Restrictions under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 apply to sealed filings and juvenile records.

Requesting Copies of Brantley County Court Records

In-person requests at the Nahunta courthouse are handled during business hours. Bring the party name, case number if you have it, and the approximate year filed. Plain copies are the least expensive option. Certified copies carry the clerk's stamp and are needed when submitting records to another court, a bank, or a government agency.

Mail requests are accepted. Write a clear description of the record, include your full name, return address, and phone number, and send payment for the estimated fee. Call the clerk's office first to confirm current per-page rates. Turnaround for mail requests in smaller counties can take a week or longer.
