Dear Jim,
In 1998, the Florida Constitution was amended to allow for the recordation of documents in the
branch offices of the Clerk's Office as well as the County seat. For the past year, I have been in
the process of upgrading our equipment and providing the necessary training of the branch office
staff to allow us to provide this service to the public.
Article vrn, Section I (k) provides that:
No instrument shall be deemed recorded until filed at the County seat,
or a branch office designated by the governing body of the county for
the recording of instruments, according to law.
Accordingly, I am requesting that you prepare an appropriate resolution to be considered by the
Board of County Commissioners for adoption that would designate the Clerk's Office in
Marathon and Plantation Key for the recording of instruments pursuant to Article VIII, Section I
(k), as amended in 1998.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
~~
Clerk of Circuit Court
and ex-officio Clerk to the
Board of County Commissioners
