Recording Services Customers Please Note:
Effective October 1, 2018, the Clerk will no longer automatically record non-final orders in any case. This is in compliance with Florida Statutes § 28.29, which directs county recorders to record only final judgments and orders of dismissal. Failure to record an order or judgment does not affect its validity or its ability to bind the parties to the case.
Should you wish to record an order that is not an order of dismissal, you may do so by presenting the order for recordation and paying the appropriate recording fee.
As a reminder, while final judgments are automatically recorded, if you wish to re-record a certified copy of a final judgment as a lien, you must obtain the certified copy and pay the appropriate recording fee. The Clerk does not automatically certify or re-record final judgments.
The Clerk's office requires customers to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope of sufficient size and with proper postage, with all documents they submit to be Recorded. Once the documents have been Recorded, they will all be returned to the customer in the self-addressed, stamped envelope that was provided to the Clerk.
