This page helps with a Property Search in Seminole County, Florida, including how to use the Seminole County Property Appraiser tools, parcel search options, map resources, sales records, and public records request paths.

For most real property lookups, start with the Seminole County Property Appraiser and use the parcel search when you have an owner name, parcel number, address, facility name, or subdivision name.

The main self-service tool for a Seminole County property search is the Seminole County Property Appraiser parcel search. You can use it to look up real property records and move from search results to a property detail page.

  • Owner name, starting with the last name
  • Parcel number, with or without dashes
  • Address, street name, or house number and street name
  • Facility name, such as a business, apartment, church, or similar site name
  • Subdivision name

Use the search method that matches the information you already have. The tool begins searching after enough characters are entered, and parcel numbers can be entered with or without dashes.

  • Open the official search real property records page.
  • Choose the search option that matches your information.
  • Enter at least the minimum supported characters for that search type.
  • Select the matching record to view the parcel details.

Tip: For address searches, directional words and street types are not always needed.

Search help for owners, parcels, addresses, and subdivisions

The parcel search supports quick and detailed search paths. The quick search can search by owner name, parcel number, address or street name, facility name, or subdivision name.

Owner searches can begin with the last name, then narrow by adding a first name. Parcel searches can begin with a partial parcel number. Address searches can use a street name with a house number or a house number with a street name.

Subdivision searches can return subdivision information and related parcels. Facility searches help identify sites such as apartments, churches, businesses, or similar property locations.

Suite and unit searches

For some address searches, the parcel search can filter by suite or unit number. The quick search help describes using the number sign after the street number for suite or unit searches.

On the detailed search page, the address results can also be filtered with the Suite/Unit filter box when that applies to the property.

Public Appraisal Map

The Seminole County Public Appraisal Map is another way to work with appraisal data. It includes appraisal data query tools and quick searches for parcels, buildings, and sales within the current map view.

The map also supports detailed countywide parcel, building, and sales queries. It can help when a user wants to locate property visually before reviewing appraisal data.

Use the Seminole County Public Appraisal Map when a map-based search is more useful than a text-only parcel lookup.

Sales search options

The Seminole County Property Appraiser also provides a sales search for users comparing property sales. Sales can be searched by subdivision, partial parcel number, or advanced criteria.

The advanced sales search covers sales in the last 5 years and can be filtered by property type, Department of Revenue use code, bedroom count, bathroom count, living area, and lot size. The sales search is limited to returning no more than 15,000 records.

Open the search property sales records page when sales history or comparable sales are part of the property research.

Downloads, GIS data, and owner lists

The Seminole County Property Appraiser provides GIS and appraisal data downloads, including current-year parcel data in CSV files updated daily and current-year parcel data in MS Access format.

The downloads page also lists certified parcel data by year, GIS data, TRIM summary data, real property Department of Revenue use codes, new residential homeowner lists, and property-related forms.

For larger research needs, use the appraisal data downloads page before requesting custom processing.

Mailing labels and homeowner lists

Users who need an owner mailing list or homeowner list can start from the real property search and use a subdivision search. After selecting matching subdivisions, the parcel grid can show the related parcels.

Additional parcel details can be displayed before exporting to Excel. Mailing label options are also available from the parcel listing for supported label formats.

The separate Mailing Label Application supports CSV downloads for address label work.

Public records requests and custom data

Public records can be requested from the Seminole County Property Appraiser when they are not confidential or exempt. Requests may be made in writing or orally, and the request should be as detailed as possible to help avoid delays.

Public records requests may be made by email to the Custodian of Public Records, by mail, in person at the office, or by phone. Copies may cost 15 cents per one-sided copy or 20 cents per two-sided copy. Extensive clerical, supervisory, or information technology work may result in a reasonable service charge based on actual incurred costs.

Custom data requests may be available when the standard search pages and downloads do not cover the need. Custom data requests require 10 business days and may involve labor or processing fees.

For formal records access details, use the Seminole County Property Appraiser public records request information page.

Records handled by other offices

Not every property-related record is kept by the Property Appraiser. Recorded documents such as deeds, mortgages, and liens are recorded with the Clerk's office. The Property Appraiser directs users to the Seminole County Clerk of Court for those records or to call (407) 665-4405.

Official surveys are not received by the Property Appraiser's Office. For surveys, contact the title insurance or mortgage company connected to the property.

Use the Seminole County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller when the task involves recorded documents rather than appraisal records.

Tax estimates and address changes

The Seminole County Property Appraiser provides a tax estimator page for users who need a property tax estimate as part of their research.

Property owners can also use the change of mailing address service when the mailing address needs to be updated for Property Appraiser records.

Seminole County property search contacts

Use these Seminole County Property Appraiser contacts when a search result, appraisal question, ownership issue, mapping question, or public records request needs staff help.
