The Macomb County Clerk’s Office Hits the Road

The Macomb County Clerk's Office takes their operation mobile to bring their services to a location near you.

Summer is the perfect time for a road trip … and the Macomb County Clerk’s Office would agree. In efforts to help you save time and money, the Clerk’s Office is going to bring their services to the Secretary of State branch office near you.  

Sound too good to be true? Well it’s not. The Clerk’s Office will be at the Central Macomb County PLUS Office (50640 Schoenherr Rd.) in Shelby Township on Aug. 24 and the Sterling Heights Office (34208 Van Dyke Ave.) on Aug. 31. The services will be available at these locations from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This mobile office comes as a joint effort between Macomb County Clerk Carmella Sabaugh and Secretary of State Ruth Johnson to offer one-stop shopping for residents. This initiative will increase access to clerk and register of deeds services for the Macomb community.
