Sumter County, Florida, established in 1853 and named after Revolutionary War hero General Thomas Sumter, is situated in Central Florida. Historically, it was a hub for agriculture, including citrus farming and cattle ranching. The county is renowned for the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park, the site of a pivotal 1835 battle in the Second Seminole War. In recent decades, Sumter County has experienced significant growth due to the expansion of The Villages, one of the largest retirement communities in the U.S., dramatically altering its demographic and economic landscape. Today, the county offers a blend of rural charm and modern amenities, with attractions like the Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway and abundant recreational opportunities along the Withlacoochee River.

The Sumter County Clerk of Court and Comptroller serves as the constitutional officer responsible for maintaining public records, overseeing county finances, and supporting the judiciary. As the "Public Trustee" of all county records, the Clerk ensures their preservation through digitization and microfilming. The office also manages civil and criminal case filings, processes marriage licenses, handles child support disbursements, and serves as the county auditor. Operating under Florida law, the Clerk's office is integral to the county's administrative framework.

The Sumter County Courthouse, located in Bushnell, Florida, was constructed between 1912 and 1914 in the Beaux-Arts architectural style by architect William Augustus Edwards. It replaced an earlier courthouse destroyed by fire and has been recognized in "A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture." Adjacent to it stands the Sumter County Judicial Building, completed in 1996 in the Mission/Spanish Revival style, reflecting the area's architectural evolution. Both buildings serve as central hubs for the county's legal proceedings and public services.
