The Tangipahoa Parish Clerk of Courts is charged with the responsibility of filing conveyance, mortgage, and miscellaneous documents deposited in Tangipahoa Parish.

The documents are then indexed and merged into the current year indices for use by the public. Unlike most states, the original documents presented to be recorded are not sent back to the owner. The Recording Department also files, free of charge, deputy clerks of court’s oaths of office of notaries, sheriff’s deputies, and other parish officials, as well as medical certificates, military discharge forms, and ordination papers.
