Its Closing Under The Sun of Trust
Search Orange County, Florida deeds, mortgages and liens through the Comptroller. Start with a party name or recording reference; use the appraiser for address research.
Independent Sol Title guide. Official tools open in a new tab. Public records do not replace a title search or survey.
The Orange County Comptroller records and indexes deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, claims of lien, judgments, orders and notices of commencement. For this property-document workflow, the Comptroller is the correct starting office.
The Property Appraiser provides a separate property and assessment search. Use its information to identify the property, then use the Comptroller’s system for the recorded instruments. When saving your research, keep the office name and document reference together so that you can return to the correct source.
Begin with the Orange County Property Appraiser search. Match the physical address, parcel identifier and property details to the property you intend to research. Note the owner name shown and check the Sales tab for deed references.
The appraiser’s Sales tab includes instrument numbers and book/page references, and directs users to the instrument number for deeds on the Comptroller’s site. This is a useful route from an address to a specific recorded document. Keep both identifiers when available; do not assume an address alone will locate every related record.

Open the official records search and review the Comptroller’s disclaimer before deciding whether to continue. The office describes searches by recording date, party name, document type, document or instrument number, and book/page.
Save the document reference along with the record you reviewed. A familiar name in the index is not enough to identify the correct property.
The Comptroller explains that its index points users toward documents; it should not be treated as a determination about their contents. Open the underlying document when available and check the parties, legal description, recording information and any references to earlier documents.
For a mortgage or lien question, a later satisfaction or release may be relevant. Keep related recording references together and ask your title team to review what they mean for the transaction. Do not assume that one document settles the question simply because it is the first or most recent result you see.
The Comptroller’s Official Records FAQ explains that liens are indexed using owner names and legal descriptions, and that its office does not provide a certification that a property has no liens. Some document images also have online-viewing restrictions.
A search returning no matches is therefore a reason to check names, dates and identifiers, not a conclusion that the property has clear title. Recorded-document research is one part of the broader review before a purchase, sale or refinance. Share unclear documents with the professionals handling your closing.
Make a short research packet with the property address, parcel ID, relevant instrument numbers, and the specific issue you want reviewed. Examples include a name difference between records, a mortgage document without an obvious related satisfaction, or a deed reference that does not match your paperwork.
For help navigating Official Records, the Comptroller lists 407-836-5115 and an office at 109 East Church Street, Suite 300, Orlando. The department page provides current contact details. Its staff cannot provide legal advice or prepare your legal documents.

Yes. First use the Property Appraiser to identify the parcel and deed references, then follow the recording information to the Comptroller.
No. Search results and index entries do not establish clear title. Have the title and closing professionals review the records needed for your transaction.
