Notice: The Right to Request Removal of Records

The Right of Any Affected Party to Request Removal of Certain Chapter 119 Information or Records

Any person has a right to request that a county recorder remove, from a publicly available Internet website, information made exempt from inspection or copying under S. 119.071, F.S., or an image or copy of a public record, including an official record, if that image or copy is of a military discharge; death certificate, or a court file, record or paper relating to matters or cases governed by the Florida Rules of Family Law, the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, or the Florida Probate Rules.

However, grantor, grantee, or party names may not be removed from the Official Records index unless the grantor, grantee, or party name includes the street address, such as in a Trust or LLC. Requests must not be notarized, state the statutory basis for removal, and confirm the individual’s eligibility for the exemption.

To make a request, contact the Clerk’s office by mail or in person at 300 East 4th Street, Panama City, FL 32401, or by email at webbaycoclerk@baycoclerk.com.
