Clerk Services effective June 1

New safety measures, in accordance with the CDC and state orders, have been implemented at the Clerk’s Office, which may cause long lines outside the building.

We encourage customers to continue using online service when possible.

Per Florida Supreme Court Administrative Order, Customers entering the Court House are now required to wear face masks or face coverings, maintain six feet distance from others, and have their temperatures checked.  Anyone with a temperature over 100.4 degrees will not be permitted to enter the building. Only customers with court business will be given access and a limited number will be allowed in the lobbies. 

Our Recording Office is closed at this time. Customers may drop off documents utilizing the drop box outside of the building. 

The Justice Center is located at 2075 Dr. MLK Blvd. and the Administration Building is located at 2115 Second St., Fort Myers.
