The municipal court clerk is required to file a person's request for a permanent exemption with the county tax assessor-collector.

• A. Municipal court clerk
• B. County tax assessor-collector
• C. The judge
• D. The jury commissioner

Answer: (A)

The person handling this filing is the municipal court clerk because the clerk serves as the court’s administrative point of contact with other county offices and is responsible for preparing, submitting, and recording petitions that move between the court and county agencies. In this scenario, the clerk must take the request for a permanent exemption and forward it to the county tax assessor-collector so the exemption can be processed and entered into the tax records. The county tax assessor-collector processes exemptions but does not initiate the filing from the court. The judge issues orders and decisions, while the jury commissioner handles jury-related matters, not tax exemptions. So, the municipal court clerk is the appropriate person to file this petition.
