Chelsey Richard Napoleon Clerk of Court and Ex-Officio Recorder |
Our office consists of two divisions - Land Records and Civil. Our Civil Division is where civil cases, such as personal injury, accidents, successions and foreclosures are filed. Domestic matters, such as divorce and child support, are also handled in the Civil Division. Our Land Records Division is where documents regarding property are recorded. Documents regarding changes in ownership, sales donations, as well as, mortgages, liens, and encumbrances are recorded in our Land Records Division. The Notarial Archives Research Center is also located in our Land Records Division. These documents, which date back to the 1700s, represent the rich history of New Orleans. Our archives can be used for property, genealogical, architectural and landscaping research. To make the information we maintain more accessible, all documents recorded and filed in the Clerk's Office are scanned and can be accessed electronically online. As committed public servants, we are available to you in person, by mail, by telephone, and via our website.  Filing Fee Increase - Effective July 1, 2018 |
