Taliaferro County Superior Court Clerk

The clerk handles filings for felony criminal cases, civil matters, divorce and family law, real estate documents, and liens.

Because Taliaferro County is so small, the clerk's office may have limited hours compared to larger counties. Always call ahead before making a trip to Crawfordville.
