What type of information is available on the Official Records Public Search?

The Official Records Public Search contains an index to documents recorded into the Official Records of Broward County, Florida between January 1, 1978, and the present, and actual images of documents recorded since August 1998. Images of documents recorded prior to August 1998 and the index to documents recorded before 1978 are available on microfilm, in the offices of the Records, Taxes and Treasury Division. It is our intent to make additional images available on this site over time.

Examples of documents posted on the site include deeds, mortgages, assignments of mortgage, leases, etc. that pertain directly to the transfer of real property; and other documents have indirect ties to real property, including judgments, liens, Declarations of Domicile, final judgments of court actions (both civil and criminal) and many other types of documents.
