About the Register: Perry County, Tennessee

The primary function of the Register is to make and preserve a record of instruments required or allowed by law to be filed or recorded, including but not limited to deeds, powers of attorney, deeds of trust, mortgages, liens, contracts, plats, leases, judgments, wills, court orders, military discharges, records under the Uniform Commercial Code (primarily fixture filings) and other types of documents. The records provide public notice of property ownership, liens, contracts and other transactions that affect the public interest. Most of the instruments recorded or filed in the register’s office relate to determining interests or rights in either real or personal property.  Some instruments received also deal with a person’s legal status with regard to other persons or legal entities. The Register’s office is in the Perry County courthouse in Linden, which is the county seat, and by Tennessee law, the records and papers must remain in the office at all times.

The Trustee for Perry County, Tennessee, serves the county with the collection and management of Perry County’s funds. The Trustee has three major functions:

  1. collecting all state and county taxes on property
  2. accounting for and disbursing county funds (including proper apportionment and determination of fund availability)
  3. investing temporarily idle county funds

Serving in the roles of banker and bookkeeper for the county, the Trustee must receive the county’s bills; keep a fair and regular account of all the money received; keep a successive warrant book, or a book showing all bills received, ruled in columns, showing the number, payee or holder, date of the day of presentation, and amount of the bill; pay the legal demands (just claims) immediately if there are unappropriated funds sufficient to do so; otherwise, to deliver the demand to the owner endorsed, and pay it in numerical order; keep fair and regular accounts of such payments; and furnish the county executive with any papers and vouchers necessary for perfecting any settlement with any person who is accountable for county revenue.

It is the responsibility of the Trustee to assure that proper accounting measures are maintained for the county and that records are available for review by the County Commission and the Mayor as budgets are developed.
