Why We Built This Site
Mississippi gives the public broad access to court records under the Public Records Act. The hard part is figuring out which office holds the file you want. Calhoun County runs a split court structure, so the records are split too. The Circuit Court hears felony cases, major civil suits, and appeals from the lower courts, and the Circuit Clerk in Pittsboro keeps those files. The Chancery Court handles divorce, custody, probate, guardianship, and land matters, and the Chancery Clerk keeps that side. The Sheriff manages the jail roster and active warrants. Add Justice Court, the Calhoun City Municipal Court, and state agencies like the Department of Public Safety, and the picture gets crowded fast. This site pulls together the contact details, search portals, fee notes, and request steps for each of these offices into one place.

What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to any Calhoun County or Mississippi court, clerk's office, sheriff's office, or state agency. There are real limits to what we can help with:
- We cannot file paperwork or send records requests on your behalf
- We cannot issue certified copies of any court document or vital record
- We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific case applies to you
- We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now
Only the issuing court or government office can provide a certified copy with an official seal. For Calhoun County, that means the Circuit Clerk or Chancery Clerk at the courthouse in Pittsboro. We can point you to the right office, but the document has to come from them.
Search Partners
Some pages on this site include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those companies set their own pricing and run their own services, and they are not connected to Calhoun County or any Mississippi government office. When you use one of those tools and it leads to a paid signup, we may earn a referral fee. That revenue helps keep this site free for visitors. We do not control what those tools charge or what shows up in their results. For an official Calhoun County record, the courthouse offices in Pittsboro remain the source of record.
