Documents are reviewed to make sure they meet Florida Statute requirements. Appropriate fees are collected. Consecutive Clerk's numbers and official record book and page numbers along with the date and time of recording are printed on the document. Documentary tax is also printed on the document, if required. In the case of documents transferring real property, a form "DR-219", property transfer form is required to be completed and submitted with the document to be recorded. These forms are available in the Recording Department. An alphabetical official record index and numeric index is created by compiling names contained in each document. Each document is digitally imaged and film is created from that image. The quality of the created film images is then verified. The original document is returned to the party indicated on the document
