The State rule carries the rest: the clerk records a DD-214 or other discharge certificate free (section 15-6-78(a), 15-6-77(i)), the record stays exempt from the Open Records Act for 50 years, and copies go only through the 15-6-72 affidavit classes (see the Georgia entry on discharge recording and the Athens-Clarke entry for the affidavit form). The clerk's part. The county's Courts page links the "State/Superior Court Clerk" as the recording office; the clerk's own page (www.lmjc.net/Catoosacscc.htm, a Word-export page on the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit's site) names the office's records - "Deeds, Liens, Plats, PT-61 Form, UCC Form, Sex Offender Registry" - and its jury affidavits, and names no military-discharge line and no fee for one, so the free recording and the restricted access are the State's sections. Where and who. Clerk of Superior Court Tracy Hullender Brown, 875 Lafayette Street, Catoosa County Courthouse, Ringgold, GA 30736; office 706-935-4231; [email protected].
