What Livingston Parish Clerk of Court does

Livingston Parish Clerk of Court is a constitutionally created Louisiana parish government office established in 1832, operating under elected Clerk of Court Jason B. Harris (in office since January 1, 2019). The office serves Livingston Parish, a 642-square-mile jurisdiction in southeastern Louisiana with eight municipalities and a parish seat in Livingston, from a main courthouse location and a Denham Springs satellite office. It functions as the official custodian of public records and the administrative hub for the 21st Judicial District Court's filings within the parish.

The office delivers a broad portfolio of government services: marriage license issuance (standard at $31, covenant at $36), vital records (birth and death certificates), civil and criminal court filings, mortgage and conveyance recordings, public records search, criminal record checks ($20 each), elections administration, and jury duty management for the 21st JDC. Service delivery spans in-person transactions at two physical locations, online portals, and partner-mediated channels. Digital infrastructure includes COTT Hosting for public records search, eClerks LA for statewide e-filing and Fraud Alert Notifications, CSC and Simplifile for e-recording (live since July 22, 2019), i3-Software & Services for criminal e-filing, Splashtop SOS for remote support, and Clerk Connect (effective August 24, 2026) as the future exclusive platform for civil e-filings. The office employs approximately 50+ staff across civil, criminal, recording, and mortgage/conveyance departments, including 11 minute clerks serving the 21st JDC.

Revenue is generated entirely through transaction-based fees established under Louisiana Revised Statutes and the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, with no aggregate revenue figure publicly disclosed. Fee streams include tiered document recording fees ($125-$325 by page count), civil filing fees, mortgage cancellation fees ($35-$75), certified copies ($10), and adoption filings ($400, or $150 for state agency adoptions). The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, serving parish residents, attorneys, real estate professionals, abstractors, surveyors, lenders, and government agencies through the official website (livclerk.org), statewide eClerks LA portals, e-filing platforms, and physical offices.
