Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes.
How do I find a probated will in Hillsborough?▼
Probated wills in Hillsborough County, Florida are found through the Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court Probate Division. Search the HOVER court-records system at https://hover.hillsclerk.com — pick 'Probate' as the case type and search by decedent name. Wills must be deposited within 10 days of death per §732.901 F.S., even if probate isn't opened. The Probate, Guardianship, and Trust page at https://www.hillsclerk.com/court-services/probate-guardianship-and-trust explains formal administration (estates >$75K), summary administration (≤$75K or 2+ years since death), and disposition without administration (no probate assets). Statewide aggregator: CCIS at https://www.flccis.com. Filings happen via https://www.myflcourtaccess.com. Florida statutes Ch. 731-735 govern probate. Records are public under Ch. 119 F.S. except guardianship of minors or incapacitated adults (confidential under §744.1076 F.S.). Certified copies are $1/page + $2 certification. Older paper-only files (pre-2000s) may require an in-person Clerk visit at 800 E Twiggs St, Tampa FL 33602.
How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Bay?▼
Outstanding warrants in Bay County, Florida are checked through the Bay County Sheriff's Office Warrants Division at https://bayso.org/warrants. The Warrants Division enters all felony warrants into BCSO's Records Management System, NCIC, and the FCIC/FDLE statewide system. The statewide FDLE Wanted Persons database is at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf. For a personal warrant check, call BCSO Records Division at (850) 747-4700 or visit 3421 N Highway 77, Panama City FL 32405; staff will not confirm by phone but you can ask in person. Many people instead retain a Florida attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Bay County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.baycoclerk.com. Federal warrants are not in the local system — check US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing a warrant in Florida requires a motion to the circuit or county court under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730.
Where do I look up warrants in Marion?▼
Active warrants in Marion County, Florida are checked through the Marion County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Warrants Division at https://www.marionso.com — phone 352-732-9111, located at 692 NW 30th Ave, Ocala FL 34475. The MCSO Warrants Unit enters all felony warrants into NCIC, FCIC, and the FDLE Wanted Persons database at http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf (publicly searchable). Active misdemeanor and traffic warrants also appear on the Marion County Clerk of Court case search at https://www.marioncountyclerk.org. Local police departments (Ocala PD at https://www.ocalafl.gov, Belleview PD, Dunnellon PD) feed warrants into MCSO's system. Calling about your own warrant: staff will not confirm by phone, but you may ask at the Records counter — many people retain a Florida criminal-defense attorney to clear the warrant before walk-in to avoid arrest. Federal warrants: US Marshals at https://www.usmarshals.gov/wanted. Quashing requires a motion under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.730 to the Marion County Clerk.
Where do I find a deed or property record in Florida?▼
Florida deeds and property records are filed at the county Clerk of Court / Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the property sits — Florida has 67 counties, each with its own Official Records search. The statewide directory of Clerk record search portals is at https://www.flclerks.com. For example: Miami-Dade at https://onlineservices.miamidadeclerk.gov/officialrecords; Broward at https://officialrecords.broward.org; Hillsborough at https://pubrec3.hillsclerk.com/oncoreweb. Property valuation, ownership, and parcel data come from the county Property Appraiser (directory at https://floridarevenue.com/property/Pages/LocalOfficials.aspx); tax history from the county Tax Collector. All Florida Official Records (deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments) are open under Ch. 28, F.S. with very limited redactions for protected persons (LEOs, judges) under §119.071. Recording fees are statutory: $10 first page, $8.50 each additional, plus documentary stamp tax of $0.70/$100 of consideration ($0.60 in Miami-Dade). Certified copies are typically $1/page + $2 certification.
