City Clerk

The Office of the City Clerk is defined both in statute and in practice. Duties are statutory in nature, those granted to the Clerk by virtue of the office – serving as the official record keeper for the council, officiating at marriages, attesting to signatures, administering oaths, certifying documents, signing official deeds and documents, preparing and arranging for public notices to be published, and serving as a satellite Voter Registration Office.

We also update and maintain the Bloomington Municipal Code, coordinate recruitment for City boards and commissions, and preserve the records of the council. Our office has been charged by judicial order to hear and adjudicate parking ticket appeals for the City of Bloomington. In addition, we collaborate with many entities within and outside the City to provide opportunities to introduce and discuss local government, encourage civic engagement, and give residents the opportunity to actually participate in some area of civic life.

The City of Bloomington Clerk's Office strives to make city government as accessible and responsive to the community as possible. The office serves as an educational liaison between residents and their government. We respond to inquiries by telephone, in writing, or in person from a variety of interested persons regarding matters pertaining to City Council actions or related City information retained in the City Clerk's office. We work closely with the City Council to supply combined constituent services.

For election information contact the Monroe County Clerk's Office or Voter Registration.
