MESSAGE from the CLERK, DOROTHY H. WILKEN

 

Use ClerkConnect to read

documents dating to 1968

I am pleased to announce a major expansion to our library of legal records available for viewing and printing from our website. A year-long project has resulted in 5.6 million documents being added here - double those previously available. Just over one year ago, customers could only access documents dating back to 1993 from our website and our public search computers in the courthouses. Now, “Official Record” documents like mortgages, deeds, liens and marriage licenses dating to January 1968 are viewable from the convenience of your home or office.

Our focus over the past several years has been to make public records more accessible for our customers. This is a giant step in that direction. It was only three years ago that images of documents became available here.

The county’s Official Record dates back to 1909. Documents from prior to 1968 are available on microfilm at the courthouse in West Palm Beach.

To access documents on-line, Click on ClerkConnect and go to the Official Records Listing where you can search by name, book and page, property type and document type.

As your Clerk, I am sensitive to the competing demands of access to public information versus privacy. For this reason, we have one easy location on our website where you can get all the information you need about how Florida law allows the Clerk to restrict the public’s access to certain documents and information that could be used to perpetrate crimes related to fraud and identity theft. Please click on this link for further information: Official Records Privacy.
 
I also recommend that you visit the Federal Trade Commission website at www.consumer.gov/idtheft/ for useful information about how you can protect your identity.

Our web site was created in August 1999 as a means of bringing meaningful and pertinent information closer to you. You may not be fully familiar with our offices and I urge you to look around on our site.

The Clerk's office provides services to the public, legal community, courts, the Palm Beach County government and the Florida state government. Our duties are primarily ministerial; we follow the Florida statutes, county ordinances and court orders. It is the most demanding and complex of all the County's Constitutional Offices. The Clerk has three primary responsibilities:

Clerk of the Courts - for both the Criminal and Civil Court Systems, and for the County and Circuit Courts for the 15th Judicial District.(Please select Court Services for details on our functions in this area.)   Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners, Chief Financial Officer, Custodian of all County funds, and County Auditor. (Please select Finance Department for details on our functions in this area.)   County Recorder (Please select Legal Record Services for details on our functions in this area.)

Our primary function as Clerk of the Board of Commissioners is to act as your accountant and official watchdog. As such, we have custody of the County's financial system and we oversee the expenditure of tax dollars to ensure they are spent in accordance with the law, policy and budget.

The Clerk collects and distributes Court fines and fees that enable local and state agencies to serve you more effectively. In addition, our office safely invests and earns revenues on more than $1.6 billion of surplus funds each year which supplements the County's annual budget.

Some who access the Clerk's web page may be experiencing unpleasant circumstances in Court or with County government. Still, it is our goal to make it as easy as possible for you to deal with our office, and to provide you with the most efficient and user-friendly service. In fact, if you have any questions about, or problems with, our web pages please call me directly at (561) 355-2996, or toll free from South County or the 'Glades at 1-888-760-9206. Or, you may E-Mail me.
