Duval County

County seat: Jacksonville. A consolidated city-county since 1968, with two separate plat sources.

Pulling records in Duval

Duval is the standout. Jacksonville and the county have been one consolidated government since 1968, so records, GIS, and the Property Appraiser live under the City umbrella rather than a separate county site. Plats come from two places, and four beach-area towns kept their own governments.

• Consolidated since 1968: City of Jacksonville, COJ, and Duval County are largely the same entity, and records sit under the City umbrella.
• Deeds and plats are recorded by the Duval Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
• Two plat sources: the Clerk's recorded plats, plus the City Public Works survey archive that holds pre-consolidation (pre-1968) maps, key for older retracement.
• Four towns kept their own governments, Baldwin, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach, each with independent local permitting.
• Property Appraiser data covers all of them; FEMA flood determinations for elevation work.
