To receive assistance for a simple search over the telephone, please have the full name you wish searched and the exact year the document was recorded or provide a legal description and an approximate date of recording.

We cannot do searches on Fictitious Names, UCCs or liens over the phone due to the length of time involved in the search. However, you may come in and search yourself or request a search by mail. For a mail search, please furnish the exact name you wish searched, your name, self addressed return envelope and the appropriate fee.

The fee is $1.50 per name per year searched or $1.50 per legal description per year searched. Please make your check payable to: Sharon R. Bock, Clerk & Comptroller and mail it to P.O. Box 4526, West Palm Beach, Fl. 33402-4526.

If you also wish a copy of the document, you must obtain the number of pages associated with the document and enclose $1.00 per page. If you wish the document to be certified it is an additional $1.50 for certification.
