Where to search Duval County records

What Florida law says about recording

  • The clerk of the circuit court is the recorder of all instruments the clerk is required or authorized by law to record in the county, and records all instruments in one general series called 'Official Records'. (Fla. Stat. Sec. 28.222(1)-(2)).
  • Instruments recorded in the Official Records must remain open to the public for inspection and copying; the clerk need not perform services without the service charges in s. 28.24. (Fla. Stat. Sec. 28.222(7)).
  • No conveyance, transfer or mortgage of real property (or lease of 1 year or longer) is good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice unless recorded according to law. (Fla. Stat. Sec. 695.01(1)).
  • Recording fee for an instrument not more than 14 inches by 8.5 inches: first page or fraction $5.00; each additional page $4.00 (plus any other charges the clerk imposes; this is the s. 28.24(13) line). (Fla. Stat. Sec. 28.24(13)).
