Pickens County routing before you submit a request

|---|---|---|
| General county administration | County Clerk open records | Department, subject, dates |
| Deed, plat, lien or recorded property instrument | Clerk of Superior Court / official recording system | Party, parcel and recording data |
| Superior or Juvenile Court case | Pickens County Clerk of Court | Case number, party, case type |
| Sheriff or emergency-service material | Named specialist department on county routing page | Incident, event date and location |
The county’s own routing page prevents the most common Pickens search error
Pickens County tells users that different departments handle different open-record requests. General county-government material can start with the County Clerk, but deeds and other recorded property documents are directed to the Clerk of Superior Court and the official statewide clerks' cooperative system. That distinction is useful because a land-record search often has a native recording identifier that is more precise than an open-record request based only on a name.
Court material follows the clerk responsible for the proceeding. The Pickens County Clerk of Court serves the Superior and Juvenile Courts and should remain the named source when a filed case is the evidence. Preserve the case number and court family so a court record is not described later as if it were a general county administrative file.
The same routing discipline applies to Sheriff, fire, E-911 and other specialized records listed by the county. If the county directs a category to a specialist office, use that office first. A response from one department should not be reported as a negative search of a different department that was never asked.
