EXEMPT RECORDS

Some properties are exempt from the release of records without proper authorization. You'll be notified if your request falls under this prevision. You'll need to submit a Property Records Letter of Authorization and will be provided instruction for how to proceed.

Pursuant to 119.07, Florida Statutes, the release of blueprints, plans, schematic drawings, and diagrams of large structures such as office buildings (300,000 sq ft or more), retail and service developments (400,000 sq. ft. or more), health care facilities, hotels, motels, government buildings, arenas, stadium, water treatment facility, or other structures owned, leased or operated by a government agency require explicit owner permission. This includes and not limited to churches, chapel, schools, colleges, universities, and other large recreational or resort facilities. A notarized original letter on the institution/agency letterhead must be submitted from the building manager of the building for which plans are needed; stating the property address, name of the person who will be receiving the copies, the purpose for which the plans will be used, and the specific type of plans or drawings needed. Please bear in mind that the letter is only valid for 5 working days from its date of issuance. Moreover, a new letter will be required every time you request such records.
