CLERK OF COURT & COMPTROLLER

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA

Thank for using our website

Our website is designed to meet the needs of our busy customers.

The responsive design of our site makes it easier to navigate regardless of whether you use a desktop, laptop, smart phone or tablet. No need to pinch and zoom on your smart phone!

The Clerk’s Office is a complex organization with many moving parts. We preserve and protect public records for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners, as well as official records such as marriage licenses, deeds and mortgages. The Clerk also serves as the independent Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer for Hillsborough County Government. We have offices spread across 10 buildings in Hillsborough County and serve customers in five locations.

Such a broad array of responsibilities in such a big county means we serve many different constituencies. We know many of our customers come to our website to pay traffic tickets, so we have created simple tools so you can do that quickly online, 24 hours a day. Not all transactions can be done online, of course, so we have new tools to check wait-times at our customer service centers and even get in line before you get there. We also have created a new, more robust search engine for the hundreds of pages that comprise this website.

The services you are used to are still here: online court records, legal forms for self-filers, electronic filing, County Commission records, official records, passport services, foreclosure sales and marriage license services. New services that we are offering are electronically certified Court Records that you can order and receive 24/7 online and soon we will offer these for Official Records, too.

We constantly strive to improve, and this is just the beginning of many phases of improvements we are planning for our online customers. Please take the time to navigate the site and let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you.
