According to the clerk’s office, the checks were mailed but never cashed and the reasons vary. The intended recipient possibly moved away without leaving a forwarding address, or put the check away and forgot about it.

We work to make sure our customers receive the funds that are rightly theirs. Whether the amount is large or small, it’s important that we help citizens finalize their court-related process by notifying the recipients in this way. 

- Clerk of Court Tara S. Green
