If you have any issues opening the document once you have met all the listed system requirements, please contact the Clerk's office at (863)534-4000 and ask to speak to an IT staff member. If the Book/Page number does not have a blue link to Official Records, the deed may not be available through the online records of the Clerk of the Circuit Court. In order to obtain a copy of the deed you will need to contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court Indexing Department at 863-534-4516. If the Type Inst is an “R”, the document is not available through the Clerk of the Circuit Court's Official Records Search. Please contact the Property Appraiser to order “R” type instruments.
