The Chancery Court collects and distributes child support, collects delinquent property taxes for the county, and administers conservatorships and investment of litigant funds paid into the court's registry. The Clerk and Master is the principal administrative aide to the Chancery Court, assisting in courtroom administration and records management, docket maintenance, revenue management, court minutes, official communication, and various other court-associated duties. The Clerk and Master is appointed by the Chancellor for a six-year term according to the state constitution. The Clerk and Master files civil matters in Chancery Court, collects delinquent taxes, and handles auctions to recover delinquent property taxes.
