The Palm Beach County Clerk & Comptroller’s Office at the Midwestern Communities Service Center in Royal Palm Beach will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., effective January 3.
The Royal Palm Beach office provides many of the services offered at the Clerk & Comptroller’s four courthouse locations, including traffic ticket payments; payments in county criminal cases, including marine infractions, animal infractions and other misdemeanor cases; payments in criminal court cases; marriage license applications; document recording; Value Adjustment Board petitions; and sale of self-service packets for divorce, eviction, small claims and other legal forms.
Legislative budget cuts forced the Royal Palm Beach office to close in 2009. In 2012, Clerk & Comptroller Sharon R. Bock was able to get sufficient funding to reopen the location two days a week, and in subsequent years expanded the office’s hours to four days a week.
