Types of Records in Jasper County Court

Jasper County Superior Court handles felony criminal cases, civil disputes above the magistrate limit, divorce and family law matters, real property cases, and equity proceedings. The clerk's office in Monticello files and maintains all related documents. Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, makes most of these records accessible to any member of the public.

Real estate records are a significant part of what the clerk manages. Deeds, liens, mortgages, and plats recorded in Jasper County are stored with the clerk and searchable through GSCCCA. These records are used by property owners, attorneys, and title companies throughout the county and surrounding area.

Some records are not open to the public. Juvenile filings, sealed orders, and documents protected under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 are restricted. If a record can't be found through normal channels, it may be sealed. The clerk must provide a written explanation if access is denied.

Bring the full name of the party involved, the approximate year of filing, and the case type if you know it. Staff can search the index and pull the relevant file.

Mail requests are also accepted. Write a description of what you need, include your contact information, and send payment for copy fees. Call the clerk's office first to confirm the fee schedule and accepted payment methods. Certified copies carry a higher fee than plain copies under Georgia law.
