Understanding Florida Property Records

What Is a Property Deed?

A property deed is the legal document that transfers ownership of real estate from one party to another. In Florida, deeds must be recorded with the county clerk’s office to establish public notice of ownership. Understanding how property deeds work is essential for any real estate transaction.

What Is a Title Search?

A title search examines public records to verify legal ownership and identify any claims, liens, or encumbrances on a property. This critical step protects buyers and lenders from potential ownership disputes or hidden liabilities.

What Is a Lien Search?

A lien search uncovers outstanding debts attached to a property, including:

  • Mortgage liens
  • Tax liens
  • Mechanic’s liens
  • Judgment liens
  • HOA liens

According to the American Land Title Association, conducting thorough lien searches prevents costly surprises during property transactions.
