§ 9-12-94.Clerk’s fees

Docketing an execution is not free. This short Code section ties the act of entering an execution onto the general execution docket — the step the article's earlier sections make necessary to protect a judgment lien against good-faith third parties without notice — to a fee the clerk of superior court is entitled to collect. The fee schedule itself is not restated here; it is found elsewhere in the Code, in the section governing clerks' fees generally.

Placing this cost on the party who wants the protection the docket provides fits the structure of the rest of the article: creditors who want their liens to bind third parties without notice have to take an affirmative step, and that step carries a modest administrative cost rather than happening automatically or for free.
