What records is the Clerk the custodian of?
The Hillsborough County Clerk of the Court and Comptroller is the official custodian of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commission's records, the 13th Judicial Circuit Court's case records, and many other public records. However, the Clerk is not the custodian of every type of public record that you might be seeking. To help you figure out where to go to get the records you seek, here are the types of public records that our customers typically look for, and who you would request those records from.

|
The Clerk's Office does not sell nor post arrest records and mug shots to any websites. Arrest records are public records and arrest record and mug shot websites pull the data from records custodians around the nation to post on their websites, regardless of the arrest's final status. The Clerk's Office has no control over these websites nor what appears on them. If you see a record on a non-HillsClerk.com website that you think does not belong there is or is inaccurate, you need to contact the website that is displaying it. You will usually find a "record maintenance" or "contact us" link somewhere on these websites to request correction or removal. The Clerk's Office is unable to assist you with this.
