Data sources and credits

This page is a draft for lawyer review and is not legal advice. Do not treat it as a final policy until counsel has reviewed it.

Data comes from county property appraiser and Florida Department of Revenue public records and may be incomplete or out of date. Verify with the county property appraiser before relying on it.

Florida Department of Revenue

The statewide backbone is the Name–Address–Legal (NAL) roll and the Sale Data File (SDF) published by the Florida Department of Revenue, Property Tax Oversight, in compliance with Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. Current files are posted in the Tax Roll Data File directory. Field definitions follow the 2026 User’s Guide for Department Property Tax Data Files. This board keeps only sales with DOR land-use code 000 (Vacant Residential) from roughly the last 24 months of the current public files.

County property appraisers

Each of Florida’s 67 county property appraisers maintains the official parcel record. Where a county publishes an official sales download or open-data feed, and its robots.txt and terms allow automated access, that feed is used to add fresher sales between DOR roll submissions. Search-only sites are not scraped. Counties whose terms forbid automated access are skipped, and their DOR rows still appear.

Property appraiser sites for the counties first shown on this board:

All 67 official office links are taken from the Florida Department of Revenue statewide cadastral directory (67 counties).

What is not a source

myfloridacounty.com, the clerks’ official-records portal, was reviewed and is not used. Its robots.txt disallows all automated access, and its terms forbid systematic data extraction and limit use to personal, non-commercial payment purposes. Official-record copies and the high-volume Official Records Index program on that site are paid or require a contract. We do not create accounts or pay for that access.
