Please be advised that you do not need to pay a private company a fee if you want a copy, certified or not, of your deed.

Your deed is a public record and is permanently maintained and preserved by the Orange County Comptroller’s Office. You can view and print (for free) a non-certified copy of your deed from our website: www.occompt.com. Should you need a certified copy, the cost is $1.00 a page and $1.50 for the certification.  In most cases, the total cost will be between $2.50 and $3.50.

Some Orange County residents are receiving letters from companies offering to sell the homeowner a certified copy of their deed for between $50 and $100.  The letters periodically appear in Orange County and are often concentrated in a specific zip code or neighborhood, so that neighbors are receiving the letters at the same time.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the Comptroller’s Official Records Department at 407.836.5115.
