The County Clerk has many important functions within the county government, such as:
- Maintaining County Commission records
- Sending required notices
- Accurately recording meeting minutes
- Making required records available to the public
- Collecting business taxes
- Processing motor vehicle registrations
- Issuing marriage licenses

Since Notaries Public are elected by the county legislative body, the County Clerk keeps a record of the Notaries Public in the county and has duties involving coordination between the Secretary of State and the notary applicant.
