The annual salary of the clerk of the superior court is determined by the population of the county in which the clerk serves as determined by the latest federal decennial census. If the population of the county is 500,000 people or greater, the salary of the superior court clerk is $76,600. If the population of the county is less than 500,000 people, the salary of the superior court clerk is $63,800. These salaries were last increased in the 2005 Legislative Session (A.R.S. § 12-281).
The annual salary of the clerk of the superior court is reviewed biennially by the commission on salaries for elective state officers (A.R.S. § 41-1903).
