​

Pursuant to the Louisiana Constitution, the Clerk of Court is entrusted with a wide range of responsibilities, including serving as Clerk of the District Court and Parish Court; Ex-Officio Recorder of Deeds, Mortgages, and other legal instruments; Chief Elections Officer and Custodian of Voting Machines for Ascension Parish; Ex-Officio Member of the Jury Commission; and Ex-Officio Member of the Board of Supervisors of Elections.

In keeping with our commitment to innovation and accessibility, the Ascension Parish Clerk of Court has embraced technological advancements by offering electronic recording (e-recording) and electronic filing (e-filing) services for added convenience.
