Taylor County Clerk of Superior Court
The official Taylor Clerk site names Lisa D. Akey as Clerk of Superior and Juvenile Court. The Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority profile also lists Lisa D. Akey as Taylor County Clerk of Superior Court, with year elected 2019, county code 133, county population 9,000, and courts managed as Superior and Juvenile. Georgia uses this Clerk of Superior Court model rather than a district-clerk model.
The county court system page describes the clerk as the keeper of official court records at the courthouse. It also explains that Georgia's clerk position is a county constitutional office. Taylor County lists separate staff routes for criminal and civil records, real estate records, and administrative assistance. That routing is useful because a request for a civil case file should not be sent the same way as a real estate search or a Probate Court filing.

Taylor County Clerk Record Duties
The Taylor County Clerk of Superior Court maintains Superior Court and Juvenile Court records. Superior Court records can include felony criminal files, civil actions, divorce cases, title-to-land matters, equity matters, contract disputes, premises liability cases, motions, orders, judgments, decrees, jury trial records, appeals, and related docket entries. Juvenile records are handled by the clerk, but they are not treated like ordinary public adult files.
- Maintain official Superior Court civil and criminal case records.
- Maintain Juvenile Court records subject to access restrictions.
- Provide clerk access for divorce case records and decrees.
- Post court calendar and legal notice resources through the clerk website.
- Route legal forms, notary, protective order, and UCC resources through the forms page.
For probate, marriage, county traffic, vital records, guardianships, conservatorships, and magistrate duties, use Taylor County Probate Court rather than treating the Superior Court clerk as the keeper of every local record. The local map identifies probate-records.html as the probate and magistrate clerk function page, so those functions are not duplicated here.
Taylor County Clerk Request Channels
Request channel choice depends on record type. Superior Court and Juvenile Court records start with the Clerk of Superior Court. The Georgia Courts e-access page lists Taylor Superior through PeachCourt and warns that a user may be redirected to a provider website and must have an account to search records. That makes provider access useful for some electronic searches, but not a guaranteed free public docket for every case file.
| Channel | Use | Details |
|---|---|---|

| Copy requests and follow-up | PO Box 248, Butler, GA 31006-0248 | |

Request Taylor County Certified Copies
A certified copy is a clerk-issued copy that carries official certification. It may be needed for a divorce decree, judgment, disposition, name-change proof, appeal packet, or another formal use. The Taylor County research did not locate a public online fee schedule for Superior Court plain or certified copy charges, so a requester should confirm the current fee before sending payment. Use the clerk phone or email route for that fee check.
- Identify the court as Taylor County Superior Court or Juvenile Court before sending the request.
- Gather the case number if known, party names, approximate filing year, and document type.
- Ask whether the record is public, restricted, sealed, or available only to a party or attorney.
- Confirm the current plain copy, certified copy, and mailing fee with the clerk.
- Submit the request by the channel the clerk confirms, then include payment and a return address if mailing.
- For a divorce record, specify whether a final decree, full case file, or docket copy is needed.
Taylor County Clerk Request Fields
The clerk's site has a legal forms page, but the static inspection did not expose a single universal records request form. A written request should still include enough fields for staff to locate the file and determine whether it can be released. For court case files, the case number is helpful but not always known, so party names and filing dates matter.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | Helpful when known | Use the exact Superior Court number if available. |
| Party names | Yes | Include plaintiff/defendant or petitioner/respondent names. |
| Record type | Yes | State civil, criminal, divorce, judgment, decree, docket, or other document. |
| Approximate year | Helpful | Use filing year, judgment year, or divorce year. |
| Copy type | Yes | Say plain copy, certified copy, or search only. |
| Requester contact | Yes | Include phone, email, and mailing address for fee questions or delivery. |
Taylor County Clerk Fees
The official Taylor County research did not locate Superior Court plain-copy, certified-copy, certification, or search fees online. That absence should be stated plainly rather than filled with a statewide guess. The same research did locate several probate and magistrate fees, but those belong to the Probate Court and Magistrate Court function, not the Clerk of Superior Court fee table.
| Item | Amount / source status |
|---|---|
| Superior Court plain copy | Not located in official Taylor online sources |
| Superior Court certified copy | Call 478-862-5594 for current fee |
| Certification fee | Not located in official Taylor online sources |
| Record search fee | Not located in official Taylor online sources |
| Divorce decree copy | Ask the Clerk of Superior Court before mailing payment |
Note: Use the Probate Court fee table for marriage, will safekeeping, vital-record copies, magistrate filings, and weapons carry fees.
Taylor County Clerk Forms
The clerk website navigation includes Legal Forms, Notary, Protective Order, and UCC resources. It also includes Court Calendars, Jury Info, Legal Notices, and Case Search links. The forms page includes an important disclaimer: forms are used at the user's own risk, may not fit a specific case, and law changes can make information outdated. Treat form links as a starting point for self-represented filing, not as legal advice.
- Legal Forms for court-related form resources.
- Notary resources for notary-related clerk services.
- Protective order resources for civil protective-order access.
- UCC resources for commercial filing references.
Taylor County Legal Notices
The clerk's legal notices page lists standing orders and operational court materials, including criminal-trial evidence material, electronic monitoring, felony bail, and a 2026 judicial calendar. The calendar page also posts court calendar links. Those notices matter because a case search is not limited to a final judgment. Hearing dates, standing orders, bail procedures, and required evidence steps can affect how a Superior Court record should be read.
Open-records fallback rules are different from clerk case access. Georgia's Open Records Act supports access to many government records, but court case files normally go through the court or clerk that keeps them. Juvenile records, sealed records, restricted criminal history, personal identifiers, and certain sensitive filings may be withheld or redacted. If a provider search fails, call the clerk before concluding no Taylor County Clerk of Superior Court record exists.
