He shall be Ex-Officio Notary Public and Parish Recorder of Conveyances, Mortgages, and other acts and shall have other duties and powers provided by law. The clerk may appoint deputies with duties and powers provided by law, and, with the approval of the District Judge, he may appoint minute clerks with duties and powers provided by law."

The essential functions of the Clerk's Office can be separated into three (3) main categories: (1) clerk of the District Court: (2) recorder of conveyances, mortgages and other acts; and (3) custodian of voting machines and equipment. Essentially, the Clerk of Court is the Chief Election Officer of the parish.

As a public office, the Clerk's Office is unique in respect to financial support. Most public offices are funded through taxation: however, the Clerk's Office operates much like a private business in that the primary source of funds operate the office comes from the fees collected by the office for services rendered to individual customers. The fees to be charged are prescribed by law, and, when collected, are deposited in the Clerk's Salary Fund Account. They are then used to pay the major portion of the operating expenses, such as salaries, office expenses, etc.
