flagler county public records: practical access guide and tips

Where to find and how to request

Florida’s broad Sunshine Law keeps most Flagler County information open, with searches starting at the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller for cases and official records, the Property Appraiser for parcels, the Sheriff’s Office for incident reports, and departments like Building and Code Enforcement for permits and violations. Submit online where available, or file a written request describing what you need.

• Court dockets and case files
• Deeds, mortgages, and liens (official records)
• Marriage licenses and judgments
• Permits and code enforcement actions
• Incident/dispatch logs and arrest records
• Parcel maps and ownership history

Turnaround times and costs

Expect instant access for indexed items; broader searches can take 3–10 business days. Per-page copy fees may apply, and complex pulls can incur a “special service charge.” Redactions for exemptions (SSNs, medical, juvenile, and victim information) can extend timelines.

Request tips that save time

Be specific: include date ranges, case numbers, or parcel IDs; use exact names and locations; ask for electronic format to cut costs; and confirm whether you want certified copies. If results seem off, refine with keywords or a narrower window and politely follow up. Remember, records provide facts, not legal advice.
