What are the requirements for recording a Deed? How do I obtain a copy of my deed or other Official Record?This tax must be paid before the Clerk and Comptroller can accept any mortgage for record, and applies only to mortgages, agreements or contracts for deed. Florida law requires that the Notice of Commencement form be recorded in the Official Records. For example, if you need to find a property in the City of Davie, Florida, then you will look in Broward County public records. The forms on this website are provided as examples of the types of forms commonly used for recording in the Palm Beach County Official Records. The division also handles Tax Deed sales.
