The St. Johns County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller’s Office began serving residents from the county’s new Public Service Center on Monday, Aug. 3, making it faster and more convenient for residents to access many of the Clerk’s most frequently used services.
“One of my guiding principles is making it easier for residents and our stakeholders to access our services, whether online or in person,” said Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller Brandon J. Patty. “This new Public Service Center is a major investment in serving our community. Whether someone is applying for a passport, recording important documents or obtaining a marriage license, they’ll experience easier access, shorter wait times and faster service. It’s another way we’re delivering exceptional customer service for our residents.”
Located just across the parking lot from the Richard O. Watson Judicial Center, the new Public Service Center was designed to improve the customer experience with closer parking, additional customer service windows and a more efficient service environment to help residents complete their business more quickly.
The following Clerk services will relocate to the new Public Service Center at 4040 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine:
- Recording services, including deeds, Notices of Commencement (NOCs), plats/PUD maps, and other documents recorded into the Official Records
Residents needing any of these services should visit the new Public Service Center, open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Court operations and court proceedings, including jury duty, assistance with child support payments, petitions for restraining orders and payments for traffic tickets, will remain at the Richard O. Watson Judicial Center.
