Murray County Clerk of Superior Court
The Murray County Clerk of Superior Court is Donna Flood. The county page directs questions to the clerk's public phone number and lists the office at the Murray County Courthouse. The GSCCCA county clerk profile also identifies Donna G. Flood as Clerk of Superior Court and notes the election year as 2012. Use the county page for the main public address, phone, hours, and fax, and use GSCCCA for statewide clerk profile and portal context.
The clerk is the primary records custodian for Murray County Superior Court. That means Superior Court civil, domestic, criminal, appeal, family violence, child support, fine, jury, grand jury, lien, UCC, plat, deed, trade-name, notary, soldier discharge, and property recording questions generally start with this office. Marriage licenses, certified marriage copies, estate files, wills, guardianships, birth and death certificates, weapons-carry licensing, and Probate Court traffic are separate Probate Court functions.

The official Clerk of Superior Court page is the local source for the Murray County clerk contact block and office responsibilities.
That page helps separate Superior Court record requests from Probate Court record requests in Murray County.
Murray County Clerk Record Duties
The clerk's official duties span court filings and land records. Murray County lists adoption filing and processing, appeals, child support collection and disbursement, civil and domestic filings, criminal filings, deed and property recording, family violence processing, fine and fee collection, garnishments, jury and grand jury management, lien recording, notary public certificates, plat recording, trade names, transfer-tax collection, soldiers discharge recording, and UCC recording.
The office contacts page routes specific record questions inside the same clerk office. Criminal Clerk Ashley Stafford, Civil Clerk Peggy Smith, Civil/Criminal Assistant Jennifer Gonzalez, Fines/Child Support Terri Hampton, BOE Secretary and Administrative Assistant Amy England, Liens/UCC filings Tasha Bishop, and Real Estate Tammy Seay or Emily Thomas are all reached through the main clerk phone. That local routing is useful when the requester knows the record type but not the staff member.
- Court files: civil, domestic, criminal, appeals, adoption processing, family violence, garnishment, child support, fines, and jury records.
- Real estate records: deeds, property records, plats, transfer taxes, trade names, and related recording work.
- Commercial and lien records: UCC filings, liens, Fi.Fa. recording links, and other indexed clerk records.
- Public service routing: criminal, civil, fines/child support, liens/UCC, and real estate contacts are all reached through the same clerk office phone.
The county's limitations on the Clerk's Office page says the clerk and deputy clerks are forbidden to practice law and restricted in helping prepare documents.
That boundary matters when a records request becomes a filing question, because the office can route records but cannot choose legal forms or strategy.
Request Murray County Certified Copies
A certified copy from the Clerk of Superior Court may be needed for a divorce decree, judgment, order, real estate record, lien record, or other official Superior Court or land-record document. Murray County did not publish a full plain-copy or certified-copy fee schedule in the inspected Clerk page, so requesters should confirm cost, payment method, delivery method, and whether the file is available before sending payment.
- Identify whether the record is a Superior Court file, land record, lien/UCC record, or Probate Court record.
- Gather the case number, book and page, party names, recording date, citation number, or other known index details.
- Call the Clerk of Superior Court and ask whether the record is public, certified-copy eligible, online, or courthouse-only.
- Ask for copy cost, certification cost, payment method, delivery options, and expected processing route.
- Use GSCCCA eCertification when a secure digital certified record is supported and clerk processing is available.
For marriage copies, birth certificates, death certificates, estate records, and wills, use Probate Court instead. Murray County's court structure keeps those records outside the Clerk of Superior Court's main Superior Court record role.
Murray County Clerk Search Fields
The clerk's online pathways depend on the record. nCourt accepts citation-number payment searches for Murray County Superior Court. GSCCCA offers statewide search categories for real estate, UCC, liens, plats, notary, PT-61, premium searches, and eCertification. KoFile QuickLink provides historic index-book access and remote index searching as an alternative to visiting the courthouse.
| Portal / Form | Field or Category | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| nCourt Superior Court payment | Citation Number | Yes for payment lookup | Use for citation-number payment, not a full case-search promise. |
| GSCCCA Search | Real Estate Name Search | User choice | Search consolidated real estate indexes by name. |
| GSCCCA Search | Real Estate Book Page Search | User choice | Search by county, book, and page. |
| GSCCCA Search | UCC File Number or Name Search | User choice | Search UCC indexes by name or specific file number. |
| GSCCCA eCertification | Sign in / Register | Required for portal use | Request secure digital certified court or real estate records after clerk processing. |
| KoFile QuickLink | Historic index books | Unspecified | Remote access to index records as an alternative to in-person courthouse access. |
The Murray County Clerk office contacts page routes criminal, civil, fines/child support, liens/UCC, and real estate questions within the clerk's office.
Those contact categories help requesters avoid sending a lien, criminal, or real estate question to the wrong staff path.
Murray County Clerk Fees
The inspected Murray Clerk page did not publish a full Superior Court copy-fee table. The research did identify related copy and payment channels that affect Clerk of Superior Court record users. Confirm any plain-copy, certified-copy, certification, or search fee with the clerk before relying on a mailed request.
| Item | Fee or Method |
|---|---|
| Superior Court plain or certified copies | Fee not located in official Murray Clerk page; ask (706) 695-2932 |
| GSCCCA eCertification | Price not located on Murray page; portal supports secure certified PDFs after clerk processing |
| Superior Court online payment | Amount depends on citation or case through nCourt |
| Magistrate Fi.Fa. issuance linked to Superior Court recording | $4 Magistrate Court plus $25 recording payable to Superior Court, total $29 |
| Probate certified marriage copy | $10 each, handled by Probate Court rather than Clerk of Superior Court |
The GSCCCA Murray County clerk profile separately identifies Donna G. Flood, the Murray County court address, hours, phone, and GSCCCA-facing profile details.
GSCCCA is useful for land-record and certification context, while the county clerk page remains the direct local office source.
Murray County Clerk Forms
The Clerk's local forms and navigation page points users to online payment, GSCCCA e-filing, KoFile QuickLink for deed records from 1833 through 1978, land records online through KoFile, eCertification, and criminal e-file instructions against an existing case. Those tools do different jobs. A payment portal is not a full record search, and a land-record index is not a criminal case database.
- Local Forms for county clerk links and record tools.
- KoFile QuickLink for historic index books and remote index access.
- GSCCCA Search for real estate, UCC, lien, plat, PT-61, notary, and premium searches.
- GSCCCA eCertification for secure digital certified records where supported.
The Murray County Clerk local forms page is the county page that gathers these record and filing links.
Use it to move from a general clerk question to the correct payment, filing, certification, or land-record channel.
Murray County Clerk Online Records
Online access for Murray County Clerk of Superior Court records is split across statewide and vendor tools. PeachCourt and Georgia e-access are statewide court-record or e-filing pathways, but the public research did not verify Murray Superior Court as a direct, free, full case-search database. For land and historic index work, KoFile and GSCCCA are the practical online tools. KoFile's disclaimer says online real estate records are a service, not a substitute for courthouse records, and that courthouse records control if an error exists.
For secure certified digital records, use GSCCCA eCertification when the record type is supported and the clerk can process the request. For paper records, older case files, sealed or restricted files, or uncertain copy needs, call or visit the Clerk of Superior Court first. The office can locate and copy records, but it cannot give legal advice or tell a person what to file.
Older deed and index research may require both online and courthouse checks. KoFile QuickLink is described as remote internet-based access to index records and historic index books, but KoFile's disclaimer says courthouse records control if there is an error. For land records, UCC records, liens, plats, and historic property searches, use online indexes to narrow the request, then confirm official copy or certification needs with the clerk.
The GSCCCA eCertification information page explains the secure digital certified-record pathway used by clerk customers.
That certification route is different from searching an index, because it produces a clerk-processed certified digital record when available.
Note: Ask the Clerk of Superior Court for current copy costs because the inspected local clerk page did not publish a full copy-fee table.
