Operating within Florida’s 2nd Judicial Circuit, the Clerk’s office dockets case filings, issues certified copies, and collects filing fees and court costs. Liberty County is one of Florida’s smaller, close-knit communities, and the Clerk’s office provides the same full range of statutory services on a more local, personal scale.
