Bullitt County County Clerk Office
The Bullitt County Clerk is Kevin Mooney. County government sources list the County Clerk at the Nina Mooney Annex Building in Shepherdsville. The Circuit Court Clerk contact page summarizes the County Clerk's record universe as car registration, marriage certificates, elections, and land records. The County Clerk website adds registration renewal, title transactions, boats, address changes, forms, land records, online record search, copy requests, delinquent taxes, voter registration, candidate filing, board of elections, open records, and passport appointments.
The key distinction is simple. The Bullitt County Circuit Court Clerk keeps the court file. The County Clerk keeps county-clerk records. A divorce decree, felony case, misdemeanor case, traffic citation, eviction, or probate case should not be sent first to the County Clerk unless the specific task involves a separate County Clerk recording or marriage record.

Search Bullitt County Clerk Records
The official County Clerk website has an online record search entry point for County Clerk records, especially land-record-related content. The page distinguishes a Private Citizen Search from a Commercial Search, with the commercial route tied to eCCLIX. Static research did not capture the full vendor search form after entry, so exact field labels should be checked live before giving instructions to a deed researcher or title user.
The Bullitt County Clerk homepage was captured as an assigned image for this County Clerk page.
The homepage shows why the County Clerk page belongs next to, but separate from, court case lookup pages: it covers land records, marriage records, vehicles, elections, copies, and open records.
The County Clerk online record search page was also captured for the project image set.
That online search is the correct local portal for County Clerk records, but it is not a substitute for KYeCourts court case lookup.
- Start on the Bullitt County Clerk online record search page.
- Choose the private citizen or commercial search route that fits the request.
- Use grantor, grantee, book/page, recorded date, or other document information when available.
- Use the copy-request route when a document image, certified copy, or written request is needed.
- Use the Circuit Court Clerk instead when the record is a court case file.
