CLERK OF COURT & COMPTROLLER

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA

Message from the Clerk

Cindy Stuart, Clerk of Court & Comptroller, Hillsborough County

Equity, transparency, and independence drive our office whether it’s through serving the function of the Court, providing important records, or being stewards of County finances. Over the past year, our team has focused on four strategic priorities, each aimed at enhancing the services we provide: Customer Experience, Community Engagement, People and Training, and Process Review and Innovation. 

We take pride in the initiatives that have exceeded the expectations of both our constituents and employees. These efforts have garnered recognition, having received 9 accolades from Top Workplaces, and being awarded Certificates of Excellence in every category in the Best Practices Excellence Program by Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers.

Our commitment to public service means we aim to meet people where they are by participating in community outreach events to educate the public about our services. 

Recognizing the complexities of the court system, we prioritize accessibility and convenience for those who rely on our services. 

One of our priorities this year has been spreading the word about our FREE property fraud alert program that alerts homeowners when a document is processed in Hillsborough County using their name or business name. In 2023, we had over 33 thousand new sign-ups! We are happy to play a part in making Hillsborough County a safer place, one alert at a time. To learn more about this initiative, click here

We remain dedicated to sharing our innovative work in the coming year and are excited to build upon these achievements. To stay up to date, follow our social media channels, and sign up for our email newsletter

I look forward to continuing to serve as your elected Clerk of Court & Comptroller. 

Cindy Stuart
