Located on the southeast coast of Florida, along the Gulf of Mexico, Collier County was created in 1923 from part of Lee County.

It is the largest county in the state by land area. The county seat is East Naples.
The Collier County Clerk of the Circuit Court is an independently elected Constitutional Officer and Public Trustee whose responsibilities include Keeper of Court and Public Records, auditor, accountant, and “Watchdog” of all public funds. Recording of documents involves the assignment of sequential “instrument” numbers to documents presented to the office. Records maintained by the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court include but are not limited to satisfactions, assignments, leases, real property mortgages, and deeds, as well as documents from court cases and other sources. In addition to recording the documents, the Recording department also reviews documents, makes sure they meet all requirements, and calculates and collects any taxes. The recording process involves:
- assign numbers (record the document)
- scan document (for placement on the World Wide Web)
- index names to create an alphabetical index to the Official Records
- return original, recorded document to the owner
The recorded documents create the Official Records. Official records can be obtained by visiting the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office in person during office hours, by mail, or by doing a background check online. To do a public records search online, you will have to visit the Collier County Clerk Website. While on the website, click on the relevant link to access the records that are available online.
