Budget changes at the Clerk’s Office bring shorter hours

Vancouver, WA – Beginning Jan. 4, 2010, the Clark County Clerk’s Office will reduce its public hours and charge a facilitator fee previously waived for some, both the result of budget reductions for 2010.

The Clerk’s Office will be open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The office is on the first floor of the Clark County Courthouse, 1200 Franklin St., Vancouver.

Also, the office will charge persons on public assistance $10 for a 20 minute appointment with the court’s Family Law Facilitator. Previously, the Clerk’s Office waived the fee. Others will continue to pay $20 for the service.


In addition, the Criminal Collections Unit, which monitors and receives court-ordered financial payments from Superior Court defendants, will move to the Family Law Annex, 601 E. Evergreen Blvd., Vancouver. The building is one block south of the courthouse.


The Clerk’s Office receives and processes Superior Court documents, assists in all court proceedings, maintains court files, and enters court orders, judgments and decrees.
