 Welcome
to the Cecil County Circuit Courthouse and the Office of the Clerk
of the Circuit Court. Rich in the tradition and history of Maryland,
the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court is one of the oldest
public institutions in the State. The Clerk of the Court is a locally
elected State official with the responsibilities established and
regulated by the laws of Maryland and the Rules of the Court of
Appeals of Maryland. Since 1658, the office of Clerk of Court has
provided the citizens of Maryland with a variety of essential services.
The revenue collected by the clerks for these services is distributed
to city, county, and state governments.
Each year the Clerk’s office files, processes and maintains civil, criminal
and juvenile actions. The Clerk’s office records land deeds, mortgages,
plats, conveyances and other precious documents. The Clerk administers oaths
to County officials, Judges and Governor appointees, issues business and marriage
licenses and performs civil marriage ceremonies. The Clerk also commissions
Notaries Public.
As you can see, the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court is a busy place.
I’m very proud of the work we do, and hope the above facts acquaint you
with the many services provided by the Clerk here in Cecil County.
Please browse through our links for more information. If my office can be of
any service, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
William
L. Brueckman, Clerk
