Blount County has created a Records Management Department to help serve the general public and Offices of the Courthouse and Justice Center.
The purpose of the Blount County Records Management Department is to receive and process both non-current, permanent records and temporary records created by Blount County Government from 1795 to present. The Blount County Records Management will provide information on court records, demography, genealogy and history of Blount County, Tennessee. Records Management provides public access to all holdings unless records are deemed confidential by law. Requests for juvenile records must go through the Juvenile Department. Requests for adoption records must go through Chancery Court. It provides local government a source material to court offices, genealogists, the legal profession, historians, and the general public.
The charge for copies is $1.00 per page and $2.00 for a certified copy. You may request copies of marriage license and wills by phone, email, mail or come by the office. The office staff is limited, so please call for an appointment if you want to come by. If you are requesting copies of a marriage license, you will need to provide the name of the groom, the bride's maiden name and the approximate year of the marriage. Copies of Court records may be obtained. You will need to know the docket number. Docket numbers may be obtained by contacting the Court system. Circuit Court’s phone number is (865)273-5400 and General Session’s is (865)273-5450. After getting the docket number, you may request a copy of the file by calling the Records Management Department.
