Boone County Clerk

What Boone County Clerk does

The Boone County Clerk's Office is an elected county government office in Kentucky serving Boone County, a jurisdiction in the greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area. The office is the County's chief election authority and provides a consolidated suite of public services including motor vehicle licensing, registration, and titling; real estate document recording and land record maintenance; marriage license issuance; notary public commission processing; and collection of delinquent property taxes. It serves Boone County residents and, through its land records systems, real estate professionals such as attorneys, title searchers, surveyors, and realtors operating in the county. Current operations are led by elected County Clerk Justin Crigler, with the Real Estate Department supervised by Elizabeth Shinkle.

The office's core technology stack centers on eCCLIX, an internet-based county clerk indexing system provided by Software Management, LLC, which enables near-24/7 remote access to public land records and powers the recently launched Doc Alert fraud notification service (introduced December 2024). Doc Alert sends email alerts when mortgages or deeds are filed under a registered name, providing proactive property fraud protection. The office also supports electronic recording through three approved vendor integrations — Simplifile, CSC, and EPN — for digital document submission. Online voter registration and candidate filings are routed through the Kentucky Secretary of State's systems, with candidate data refreshed daily at 9:15 AM EST. A proprietary group identification system for all property records has been maintained since 1969.

The office operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer service model combining in-person counter service at two Kentucky locations (Burlington headquarters in the County Administration Building and a Florence branch on Veterans Memorial Drive), telephone support, mail and email document submissions, and an online self-service portal. Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees, including a $60 marriage license fee, a $19 notary commission recording fee, a 2.5% convenience fee on debit/credit card transactions for delinquent tax payments, and motor vehicle and document recording fee schedules. Marketing and citizen engagement rely primarily on the official website (boonecountyclerk.ky.gov) and a single Facebook page, with no formal outbound campaigns.
