After a property sale or transfer, the necessary documents, such as the deed, must be submitted to the Orange County Recorder's Office.
Preparation: The grantor (current owner) must prepare the quitclaim deed document, which includes the names of the grantor and grantee, the legal description of the property, and the words of conveyance.
First, you need to make sure you fill out the quitclaim deed properly and get it notarized. Next, take the quitclaim deed to the County Recorder's Office. Make sure to file a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report and a Documentary of Transfer Tax or a Notice of Exempt Transaction.
You do not have to be an attorney to prepare a Florida quitclaim deed. Absent attorney fees, your costs would only be the recording fees that the county comptroller charges and transfer fees if the property is mortgaged.
For more recent records (including birth certificates, property records, and tax liens), please contact the Orange County Clerk-Recorder at (714) 834-2500 or click on the “ Clerk-Recorder Home Page ” link.
Sign in front of a notary. Once you have completed the form, you must wait to sign it until you appear before a notary public. Get a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR). In addition to a quitclaim deed form, you will also need a PCOR. File the forms. Give the deed to the grantee.
