Can I Search Broward County Public Records on the Internet?

By Jason Voxly

Broward County has made searching through public records about as easy as it gets. They are one of the few counties that has come into the 21st century and enables you to complete the whole process online. If you need to look up something for Broward County, follow the easy steps below and you will have them in your hand before you know it!

The county has their own website that is very easy to navigate. Go to your browser and type in: broward.org. When you land on the site, there will be a menu bar on the left hand side of the screen, look for the option 'Find Agency' and click on it.

Once you have done that, you will be taken to another screen that is basically an A to Z screen with every department of Broward County listed. Go down to R and slick on 'Records, County'.

Now you are officially in the Broward County Records Division. Here you will find a variety of options and may want to root around for a bit to see exactly what you can get from this site. It is absolutely loaded with information. It will also give you access to any form you will need if you do not find what you want online. Since we are going to try and stay with modern times though, we are going to click on 'Search and Copy' to get where we need to go.

This is where the fun starts. You will see a bunch of menu choices in the middle of the page. The first one will be a link for you to choose if you cannot get what you want via the net, remember that one. The button to the right will say 'public records' and that is our choice. You will have to read through a disclaimer and make sure you read it! It gives you information that you must know about before searching. Once you have completed and are willing to adhere to their terms, click on the 'I accept' button and you are in.

From here, it is a piece of cake. You are taken into a screen where you will enter the name of the person or business that you are doing research on and then click the 'search records' button. Here you will find out if there are any public records of the person you are looking for in a matter of seconds. If the search does come up with something, all you have to do is click on the highlighted characters and it will show you a copy of the document. That is all it takes when searching for Broward County Public Records. - 16928
