Rabun County Clerk Office
Holly Henry-Perry is the Rabun County Clerk of Superior Court. The research identifies the Clerk of Superior Court as a constitutional officer elected by Rabun County voters for a four-year term. The office is more than a filing counter. It attends court sessions, files and maintains accurate proceeding records, manages revenue collections and disbursements, processes court documents, and provides public access to court records held by the courts it serves.
The Clerk also serves as Clerk of Magistrate Court, Juvenile Court, Accountability Court, and Family Dependency Treatment Court. The office has additional public functions as Jury Clerk, Passport Acceptance Agent, and Board of Equalization Appeal Administrator. It also handles deeds, chain of title records, notaries public, business and trade names, military discharges, powers of attorney, real estate records, veteran discharge records, and restraining or protective-order materials.

Rabun Clerk Courts Served
The Rabun County Clerk of Superior Court supports several courts, so the first step is matching the record to the court that produced it. Superior Court records include felony cases, title to land and equity matters, declaratory judgments, adoptions, name changes, divorces, child custody, child support enforcement, habeas corpus, mandamus, and appeals from lower courts. Magistrate Court records include civil claims under $15,000, dispossessory cases, answers, statements of claim, and warrant application forms.
- Superior Court case files for felony, civil, domestic, land, equity, and appeal matters.
- Magistrate Court records and forms for lower civil claims, dispossessory cases, and warrant applications.
- Juvenile Court clerk functions, with public access limited by Georgia law for many files.
- Accountability Court and Family Dependency Treatment Court clerk support.
- Jury clerk functions, including jury selection and reporting information.
- Land, notary, trade name, military discharge, and related non-court records.
The official Rabun County Clerk page and GSCCCA listing both identify these duties. Adoption records are not treated like ordinary court files because the Rabun Clerk FAQ says they are confidential and may not be viewed without a court order.
Rabun Clerk Contacts
Several named staff contacts appear in the research file. The county page lists Holly Henry-Perry at 706-960-9709, chief deputy Amie Alderman at 706-960-9708, and chief deputy Jessica Brown at 706-960-9710. The GSCCCA listing names Amie Alderman and office contacts including Jessica Brown for Magistrate Court, Vicki York for Real Estate and Jury Management, Amy Kilby for Superior Court Civil and Appeals, and Kathy Holcomb for Juvenile Court, Notary Public, and Warrants.
The Clerk contact page shows the Suite 105 office address, phone, fax, and a contact form.
For record access, the main clerk number is still the safest starting point unless a case has already been assigned to a named staff area.
Request Rabun Certified Copies
Certified copies are usually needed when a court document must be used for an official purpose. A certified divorce decree, name-change order, judgment, or other court paper is different from an online view because the clerk certifies that the copy matches the court record. Rabun research did not locate a downloadable court-record request form, so certified-copy requests should be handled through the Clerk of Superior Court directly or through PeachCourt/eAccess if the provider supports the document workflow for that case.
- Identify the court and file type. Superior, Magistrate, Juvenile, Accountability Court, and Family Dependency Treatment Court records route through the Clerk, while probate and vital records route to Probate Court.
- Gather the case number if known, party names, filing year, document name, and whether a plain or certified copy is needed.
- Call 706-782-3615 or visit Suite 105 to confirm access, cost, certification options, and whether the file is sealed, confidential, or older than online coverage.
- Use PeachCourt/eAccess when available for provider access, but contact the Clerk for certified records, older files, and unclear restricted-status questions.
Note: Juvenile and adoption records require special caution because public access may be limited even when the Clerk serves the court.
Rabun Clerk Request Fields
No separate Rabun court-record request form was located in the captured official text. The Clerk contact page does have a feedback/contact form, and those fields show what the office asks for in a general inquiry. For a useful records request, add court-record details in the comments so staff can identify the file without a broad search.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Unspecified | Contact-page feedback form field. |
| Email Address | Unspecified | Use a reachable email for response or copy instructions. |
| Telephone | Unspecified | Helpful when staff must clarify case type, fee, or certification need. |
| Comments | Unspecified | Include case number, party names, year, document type, and plain or certified copy request. |
| Submit | n/a | Sends the general contact form. |
Rabun County Clerk Fees
The official court filing fee page confirms that a court filing fee document exists, but the exact fee values were not extracted in the research pass. The page should therefore avoid invented filing, copy, search, or certification amounts. The only dollar amounts captured in the research are from the sheriff open-records process, which applies to law-enforcement records, not Clerk court files. Those sheriff amounts are listed only as a comparison and fallback for sheriff reports.
| Item | Amount or status |
|---|---|
| Rabun court filing fees | Fee PDF exists, exact values not extracted |
| Plain court copies | Exact Clerk copy fee not located in captured official text |
| Certified court copies | Exact Clerk certification fee not located in captured official text |
| Sheriff standard open-record paper copy | $0.10 per 8.5 x 11 page |
| Sheriff search, retrieval, and review | Hourly wage of lowest-paid qualified employee, first 15 minutes free |
| Sheriff estimated cost threshold | If estimated cost exceeds $25, requester must approve before processing |
The Rabun court filing fees page is the official place the research found for the Clerk's filing fee document.
Because exact Clerk fee amounts were not captured, confirm current copy and certification charges before mailing a request or arriving at the counter.
Rabun Magistrate Forms
The Clerk's court structure matters for forms because the Clerk serves Magistrate Court as well as Superior Court. The researched Magistrate Court resource page lists dispossessory, answer, statement of claim, and warrant application forms. These are not Superior Court felony or divorce forms, but they are part of the Clerk-supported court system and can be the right starting point for small civil claims, eviction responses, and warrant application questions.
- Dispossessory form for landlord-tenant possession cases.
- Answer form for responding in Magistrate Court.
- Statement of claim form for Magistrate civil claims.
- Warrant application form for the listed Magistrate Court warrant process.
The Magistrate Court forms page is tied to the Clerk-supported lower court records described in Rabun research.
Those forms show why a Rabun County Clerk records search may include lower civil or warrant-related documents, not just Superior Court case files.
Rabun Clerk Online Access
Georgia Courts eAccess lists Rabun Superior through PeachCourt. The state eAccess page says users are redirected to the provider and must have an account to search court records. PeachCourt's access page includes registration and password-reset options and advertises civil and criminal eFiling and court documents across Georgia. That makes PeachCourt/eAccess the online access path found in the research, but it is not the same as a simple anonymous county search box.
GSCCCA is also important for Rabun because the Superior Court clerks' statewide authority lists the county code, legal organ, services, directions, staff contacts, and clerk information. Real estate records are linked from the Clerk pages to Kofile/GSCCCA search resources. When a person needs an official certified copy or a record not visible online, the Clerk counter and phone line remain the practical fallback.
The Rabun Clerk FAQ page adds researched details on adoption confidentiality, jury selection, jury reporting, mediation, and courthouse location.
The FAQ source is also where the research found adoption confidentiality, jury selection details, and courthouse location guidance.
Rabun Clerk Jury Role
The Clerk serves as Jury Clerk for Rabun County. The Clerk FAQ says juror names come from licensed drivers and registered voters in Rabun County, are placed into a jury-management computer system, deduplicated, and randomly selected by the Jury Commission. That jury role is separate from a case-copy request, but it explains why the Clerk's office is a key contact for residents summoned to court.
Jurors may call 706-782-3527 after 1:00 p.m. on the Sunday before reporting to confirm whether court has been canceled or delayed. Possible excusal categories identified in the research include full-time student, primary caregiver of a child under six with no reasonable child-care alternative, age over 70, permanent medical excuse, primary home-school teacher, and service member on ordered military duty.
Note: Court dates, jury reporting, and certified-copy requests should be verified with the Clerk because online provider access may not show every local update.
