Recording a Deed or Document in Sarasota, FL

Can you e-record in Sarasota?

Sarasota records documents submitted by mail or in person. Jurably handles this on the paper rail — we prepare, notarize, mail, and track your document to a recorded instrument number.

How to record a document in Sarasota, Florida

1. Prepare the document so it meets Sarasota formatting rules (legal description, grantee address, signature block, and the blank margin the recorder reserves for its stamp).
2. Notarize it if the instrument requires acknowledgment — most deeds and affidavits do.
3. Submit by mail to Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller (Karen E. Rushing) - County Recorder/Official Records at 2000 Main Street, Sarasota, FL 34237.
4. Pay the recording fee ($10.00 (instrument up to 8.5x14 in.) first / $8.50 per additional page add'l (+$1.00 per name for indexing, all names over four per document)).
5. Receive the recorded instrument back with its book/page or instrument number as proof of record.

How Jurably helps in Sarasota

Jurably isn’t a deed-filing desk — it’s how real-estate investors get the important paperwork done. If you’re under contract on a Sarasota property, we file a memorandum of contract to secure your equitable interest so the seller can’t sell out from under you. Need it notarized first? We handle online notarization or send a mobile notary to your signer. Then we record it — by certified mail on the paper rail — and return the recorded instrument. It’s a self-help filing service, not legal advice.
