The county clerk, formerly the county court clerk, was a statutory official for many decades prior to becoming a constitutional office in the 1978 amendments to the Tennessee Constitution. The county clerk is elected to a four-year term in the August general election in the same even-numbered year that the governor is elected. The county clerk performs a wide variety of functions, which generally include: (1) keeping the official records of the county legislative body; (2) collecting certain local and state taxes (such as local wheel taxes, local hotel/motel taxes, beer taxes, business taxes, and vehicle registration fees); (3) issuing motor vehicle titles and registrations; (4) issuing marriage licenses; (5) issuing business licenses; (6) processing applications for beer permits; (7) processing applications for notaries public; (8) issuing pawnbroker licenses; and (9) issuing hunting and fishing licenses. The county clerk receives fees for the services rendered by the office.
