Common Questions
Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes. Note: Statewide FAQ — applies to all of Florida. No city-specific FAQ is available yet — the answers below apply to the broader jurisdiction.
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.

For example: Miami-Dade at https://onlineservices.miamidadeclerk.gov/officialrecords; Broward at https://officialrecords.broward.org; Hillsborough at https://pubrec3.hillsclerk.com/oncoreweb.

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.
