Courts
|
Effective March 23, 2020, the Clerk of the Circuit Court is:
- Closing the historic records research room (due to nearly all records being available electronically)
- Establishing drop boxes at customer service windows for attorneys, title companies and other clients to deliver documents for legal filing and recordation.
In an effort to reduce citizen visits to the courts complex in Leesburg and promote social distancing as recommended by the Loudoun County health officials, the Clerk of Circuit Court is expanding remote access services to Loudoun residents for the next 30 days and encouraging citizens to delay any appointments for some other services.
Starting March 18, Loudoun County residents will be able to obtain remote access to the Clerk of Circuit Court’s deeds and land records for 30 days at no charge. Loudoun residents can email the Clerk’s land records team at DEPT-CLERKCT-LANDRECORDS@loudoun.gov to inquire and request the necessary digital paperwork to establish a temporary subscription account. Clerk Gary Clemens is waiving the subscription fee. This remote access account will permit residents to access deed, land records, and judgment information from home or a remote location, eliminating the need to visit the Clerk’s Office in Leesburg. Copies of deeds and land records can also be provided by contacting the Historic Records & Deed Research Division in the Clerk’s Office at CLERKS-ARCHIVES@LOUDOUN.GOV or call 703-737-8775.
The Clerk is also encouraging all clients to pay with credit card online or by phone instead of cash to offer more convenience so individuals do not have to visit the office to pay for services such as filing fees, criminal fines and costs, copies of public records and other services. For specific information regarding online or telephonic payments, please visit the Clerk’s website at www.loudoun.gov/clerk for details.
