The Recording Division creates an index and archives all of the documents that constitute the Official Records of Indian River County. These documents include, but are not limited to: Deeds, Mortgages, Satisfactions, Claims of Lien, Final Judgments and Orders, Notices of Commencement and Declarations of Domicile.
Index data is complete back to October of 1983. When not prohibited by law, document images are viewable from July 1, 1925 to present.
In addition to recording these legal documents, the Recording Division collects money for documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes, recording fees and other miscellaneous fees. Tax deed auctions are also performed by this department.
Under Florida law, email addresses are public records. If you do not want your email address released in response to public records requests, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing (also a public record).
