Florida Statute119.071provides
that certain records held in public trust are confidential and exempt from public inspection under specific conditions.
Confidentiality of property records is not automatic. You must apply for property record confidentiality. Following approval, specific property information maintained at
this office will be placed in confidential status, made unavailable to the public, and excluded from our public website.
IMPORTANT: Approved confidentiality with the Property Appraiser's office does not automatically establish confidentiality with other agencies,
such as the Clerk of Court, Supervisor of Elections, Tax Collector, or any other government agency, business, or entity that maintains records related
to you, your relatives, and/or your activities (e.g., marriage, building permits, automobile registration, etc.) You must request confidentiality with
other agencies and businesses to establish confidentiality with them.
NOTE: Per changes to Florida Statute119.071in 2021, in addition to the owner, a title company, title insurer, or legal counsel directly associated with the property may also receive access to confidential property records.
Proof of qualifying employment must be provided to the Property Appraiser’s office together with any required certifications.
