The City Clerk's office is the place where anything that involves the purchase or sale of land or house whether built or renovated is recorded and filed. It is through these documents that a person would be able to prove title to a property, determine lot dimensions, get sales information and much more. The City of South Burlington’s Clerk Office is one of the busiest offices in the State of Vermont and the money that we receive from recording these documents helps to support the budget of our office.
