The Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court is an independently elected Constitutional Officer and Public Trustee whose responsibilities include Keeper of Court and Public Records, auditor, accountant, and “Watchdog” of all public funds. Recording of documents involves the assignment of sequential “instrument” numbers to documents presented to the office. Records maintained by the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court include but are not limited to satisfactions, assignments, leases, real property mortgages, and deeds, as well as documents from court cases and other sources. In addition to recording the documents, the Recording department also reviews documents, makes sure they meet all requirements, and calculates and collects any taxes. The recording process involves:
- assign numbers (record thedocument)
- scan document (for placement on theWorld Wide Web)
- index names to create an alphabetical index to the Official Records
