Miami-Dade Records Index

BlueAtlas

BlueAtlas now keeps its own copy of everything recorded with the Miami-Dade Clerk: deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, releases. It updates itself each business day. Reports can search it by owner name or parcel instantly, at no per-lookup cost.

01 · How it works

From the Clerk's recording desk to our reports

The Clerk publishes each day's recordings the next business day. We take it from there automatically.

Same data as the Clerk

The Clerk's own bulk files: every party, document type, book and page, parcel folio, sale amount and doc stamps.

Runs on its own

No one downloads anything. The worker fetches any file it's missing from the last 30 days, so a short outage repairs itself.

Corrections handled

When the Clerk corrects or removes a record, the newer version replaces the old one, whatever order the files arrive in.

02 · Volume

About 3,500 documents a business day

Documents recorded per business day so far. Red marks court holidays, when the office records almost nothing.

What gets recorded, and how we find it

The most common document types, and how often the Clerk tags each with a parcel number (folio).

TypeDocumentCountTagged with a parcel

Deeds almost always carry the parcel number. Liens, judgments and satisfactions almost never do. So BlueAtlas searches those by the owner's name, and matches each satisfaction to the mortgage it pays off using the Clerk's reference to the original document.

04 · Impact

Useful now, complete after a history load

The daily files start in October. Older records come from a one-time extract we're requesting from the Clerk.

Works now
  • New filings on a propertyAny deed, quit claim or lien recorded on a parcel since October, which the county roll doesn't show yet.
  • Recent quit claims and transfersA classic fraud pattern: a property quietly deeded away just before a sale or refinance.
  • New liens, judgments, lis pendensName search across everything recorded since October.
  • Deed checks without per-lookup feesRecent deeds come from our copy instead of the Clerk's $0.20-per-call API.
Needs history file
  • Open mortgagesWhether each mortgage on a property has been satisfied needs mortgages going back years.
  • Full lien and judgment searchLiens and judgments recorded before October, still attached to the owner.
  • Complete chain of titleEvery deed on a parcel, not only the latest.
9 / 5,851satisfactions recorded since October pay off a mortgage we already hold. The rest pay off older mortgages. That gap is what the history file closes.
