The duties and responsibilities of the Clerk of Court
are established by the Louisiana Constitution.
Under the Constitution, the Clerk serves as the Recorder
of Deeds and Mortgages, Clerk of the District Court,
Treasurer for the Court System, and Chief Election
Officer and Custodian of Voting Machines for the parish.
The clerk's office is the custodian of all land records,
marriage licenses, civil, criminal, and probate records.

of the office, including the salaries and benefits of
the employees, are entirely funded by the collection of
fees from services rendered. There are no
ad-valorem taxes allocated for the office of the Clerk.
