Property Research Documentation

Man researching information

Public property records search, including property appraisals, unclaimed property, ownership searches, lookups, tax records, titles, deeds, and liens can all be done free in Florida.


When researching commercial property in Florida you don’t have to worry about the process costing you a lot of money. Property searches in Florida are for the most part free to anyone who wants to dig through historic records or local pre recorded titles.


If you are doing research for a potential real estate investment or a group of investors it’s very important your client understands the history of said location. Menard Building Solutions can provide you with the knowledge you'll need to make that informed decision. You want to know for instance how many times the current property has changed hands. If the current property has had an abnormal turn over in sales within the last 10 years, this could raise a flag to any interested buyers.


A commercial property tax history provides a picture of the property tax rate, tax commitments, and property’s assessed and current as well as past market value. The information generated by overall tax, sales and debt history can provide a clear view of any single commercial asset.


Maybe the past owner took out a second mortgage on the property to either increase the value of the current property or merely used that property to invest in another one that maybe proved more lucrative. You never know about these things unless you do your research and verify what constitutes a purchase or a sale in today’s market.


Buyers, sellers, lawyers, agents, and group investors, have requested property records. Even residents can obtain property records by visiting their local recording agencies, county clerks, or tax assessors. It is not uncommon for Florida property deeds to be of various types. The freedom from legal encumbrances obtained by purchase of a property is not guaranteed by a quitclaim deed. Property tax records are usually kept at the local tax assessor’s office and all you need to do is the research.


At Menard Building Solutions we perform due diligence on your part to arm our clients with as much information as possible, so they can make an informed decision and we’ll always include the good as well as the bad.
