Records and Reports
Any person has a right to request that a county recorder remove, from a publicly available Internet website, information made exempt from inspection or copying under s.119.071 or an image or copy of a public record, including an official record, if that image or copy is of a military discharge; death certificate, or a court file, record or paper relating to matters or cases governed by the Florida Rules of Family Law, the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, or the Florida Probate Rules. However, grantor, grantee or party names may not be removed from the Official Records index. Requests must be notarized, state the statutory basis for removal, and confirm the individual’s eligibility for the exemption. To make a request contact the clerk’s office by mail or in person at 419 Pierce Street, Tampa, FL 33602 or by email at recording@hillsclerk.com.
