Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers

What Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers does

Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers (FCCC) is a 501(c)(6) statewide non-profit member association headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, founded in 1969. It represents Florida's 67 independently elected Clerks of the Circuit Court and Comptrollers (plus one independently elected Comptroller in Orange County), collectively responsible for nearly 1,000 statutory functions spanning court records management, county financial administration, public records access, and direct citizen services. The organization delivers education, advocacy, training, technology platforms, and shared services to its members while also operating public-facing programs that reach more than 6 million Floridians annually through walk-in and online channels. Its annual events include the Summer Conference (380+ attendees in 2026), Winter Conference, CLERICUS User Conference, Civitek Tech Summit, and Best Practices Regional Trainings.

The technology portfolio is anchored by the Comprehensive Case Information System (CCIS), the CLERICUS case management platform, public payment portals (MyFloridaCounty.com, MyFloridaCourtAccess.com), and statewide programs including the Property Fraud Alert Service (free across all 67 counties as of January 2025) and the Hope Card Program (launched 2024 under CS/CS/CS/SB 86). Technology and workforce operations are delivered through FCCC-Civitek, a subsidiary recognized among Florida Trend's Best Companies to Work For in 2022 and 2024. Underlying infrastructure includes YourMembership.com for the flclerks.com platform, Zoom for virtual meetings, ADP Workforce Now for HR, and integrations with third-party property fraud alert providers (propertyfraudalert.com, trieshield.com, LandmarkWeb). Emerging AI initiatives include the 'Clerk Direct' customer engagement rollout, featured at the 2026 Civitek Tech Summit.

FCCC's revenue model is a hybrid of (1) state legislative appropriations routed through the Clerks First advocacy model ($16.5M recurring jury reimbursement and $1.83M non-recurring injunction reimbursement for FY 2026-27); (2) member dues from 67 county offices; (3) event registration fees ($370 Clerk/Comptroller, $420 on-site for Summer Conference) and Best Practices Regional Training fees ($25/attendee); and (4) event sponsorship tiers ranging from Bronze ($3,500) to Platinum ($10,000). Free public programs (Property Fraud Alert, Hope Card) anchor the value proposition to Florida citizens, while the association's 67-member governance structure creates a self-reinforcing institutional ecosystem with high retention and no commercial churn.

Revenue model

1. 501(c)(6) Member Association Funding: FCCC is structured as a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit corporation. Revenue comes from member Clerks/Comptrollers, the State of Florida (legislative appropriations including $16.5M recurring jury reimbursement and $1.83M non-recurring injunction reimbursement for FY 2026-27), and a unified statewide 'Clerks First' advocacy funding model.
2. Event & Conference Registration Revenue: Revenue from annual FCCC Summer Conference registrations ($370 Clerk & Comptroller / $420 on-site), regional training fees (Best Practices $25/attendee), Winter Conference, CLERICUS User Conference, and New Clerk Academy.
3. Event Sponsorship Revenue: Sponsorship tier packages at conferences: Platinum $10,000, Gold $7,500, Silver $5,500, Bronze $3,500, plus a $2,500 '1 Booth / 2 Registrants' exhibitor option; sponsors include Linebarger, Penn Credit, and other county-government-aligned vendors.
4. Court-Related Filing Fees, Service Charges, Costs & Fines: Clerks collect and disburse fines, court costs, forfeitures, fees, and service charges across all 67 counties per annual Distribution Schedules (2020–2025 published). These fees flow through to state and county trust funds and are tracked via the Assessments & Collections (A&C) Report per s. 28.246, F.S.
5. County Investment Management: Comptrollers (Clerks serving as county CFO) manage nearly $13 billion in county investments annually; earn returns for counties while safeguarding funds (scaled operational economic activity rather than FCCC association revenue).

Product overview

Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers (FCCC) is a 501(c)(6) statewide non-profit member association — not a traditional single-product company — but rather an umbrella organization supporting Florida's 67 independently elected Clerks of the Circuit Court and Comptrollers (plus one independently elected Comptroller in Orange County). Its portfolio is organized as a service-and-program platform anchored by the FCCC website (the central hub, powered by YourMembership.com AMS), with several distinct service lines layered on top: the Statewide Property Alert Services program (free property fraud notifications now offered by all 67 counties), the Statewide Hope Card Program (digital/physical wallet cards for domestic violence injunction holders, mandated by CS/CS/CS/SB 86), the Best Practices Program and Excellence Program (certification guidance for Clerk processes), Operation Green Light (annual statewide driver license reinstatement event), the annual Assessments & Collections (A&C) Report (mandated under s. 28.246, F.S.), and recurring training products including the FCCC Summer/Winter Conferences, CLERICUS User Conference, Best Practices Regional Trainings, and New Clerk Academy. Underlying technology is delivered via the FCCC-Civitek technology subsidiary (Civitek Solutions), which also hosted the 2026 Civitek Tech Summit. Supporting resources include the Clerk Directory, Public Publications and Documents library, Public Records Request contacts directory, Sunshine Week transparency initiative, and the FCCC Career Center job board. Together, these offerings serve both internal members (Clerks, Comptrollers, and staff needing guidance, training, advocacy, and IT support) and external constituents (citizens, businesses, and government partners accessing records, paying obligations, requesting alerts, and engaging with court services).

Direct peers

• National Association of Counties (NACo): A 501(c)(3) membership organization serving over 3,000 county governments across the U.S. Directly comparable to FCCC as a county-government association providing advocacy, training, and best-practice guidance to elected county officials.
• International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials, and Treasurers (IACREOT): International professional association for county clerks, recorders, election officials, and treasurers. Closest direct peer to FCCC in terms of mission — serving the same office types at the national/international level with similar education, advocacy, and best-practice functions.
• National Center for State Courts (NCSC): Non-profit organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice in state courts across the U.S. Comparable to FCCC in its focus on court administration, technology, and policy advocacy — operates at the national level rather than state level.
• Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA): Association of state court administrators operating under NCSC. Comparable to FCCC as a peer professional association for court administration, providing policy leadership, education, and best-practice development.
• Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA): Association serving state and local government finance officers. Comparable to FCCC for the Comptroller side of the Clerk/Comptroller role — provides training, certification (CPFO), and best practices for government financial administration.

Regional players

• Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA): Florida-specific association of the state's 67 elected Sheriffs. A regional peer comparable in scope (statewide Florida) and mission (advocacy and support for an elected law-enforcement constituency), and a documented FCCC strategic partner on the Hope Card Program.
• Texas Office of Court Administration: Texas state judicial administrative agency serving the Texas court system. Comparable to FCCC as a state-level court administration body in another large state, though Texas's centralized structure differs from Florida's elected-Clerk model.

Broad incumbents

• Tyler Technologies: Major U.S. govtech vendor providing Odyssey court case management, LandmarkWeb property alerts, and other public-sector software. Comparable to FCCC-Civitek's CLERICUS platform as a court-tech vendor serving county governments; operates as a much larger commercial incumbent across many states.

Others

• Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC): Florida state entity receiving the statutory Assessments & Collections Report from Clerks and managing Clerks' operating budgets. Comparable ecosystem participant — adjacent government entity that interfaces with FCCC on budget and operations.
• Civitek Solutions (FCCC-Civitek): FCCC's wholly-owned technology and workforce subsidiary, which manages the CLERICUS platform and hosts the annual Civitek Tech Summit. Included as an adjacent ecosystem peer — same ownership, distinct operating brand.
