How to Search Public Records in StJohns County

Use a consistent process to separate possible matches from records that need official verification.

  1. Start with the name and any relevant alternate spelling.
  2. Compare possible matches using available identifying details.
  3. Record useful dates, case numbers, agencies, or other identifiers.
  4. Select the official source that maintains the record needed.

Useful identifiers may include:

  • Case number for court matters.
  • Property address for assessment or tax searches.
  • Parcel number for Property Appraiser searches.
  • Account number for property tax lookup.
  • Book and page or document type for recorded documents.

An identifier that works in one system may not work in another. For example, a court case number is different from a property parcel number or tax account number.
