Clerk Official Records
Recorded instruments

Clerk non-court collections
Minutes, resolutions, ordinances and tax-deed material
Search the published collection before requesting staff retrieval.
A Walton County result is easier to verify when the note says which institution created it
The County Attorney public-record contact is the county-government request route. That is appropriate when the target is a record held by county administration or a county department and no specialized online system already supplies it.
The Clerk operates distinct repositories. Official Records are the recorded-document lane, so an instrument found there should be cited by document type and recording reference rather than by a person or address alone.
The Clerk also exposes several non-court collections online, including board minutes, resolutions, ordinances and tax-deed information. Those sources can answer a question immediately and avoid a broad request that merely duplicates material already published.
Court documents require their own Clerk path. Do not assume that an Official Records search is a complete court-case search; a recorded instrument and a court filing can concern the same foreclosure, estate or property while remaining separate artifacts.
For a property or government-action timeline, order the records by their actual dates and keep the custodian beside each entry. That prevents a board resolution, recorded deed and court filing from being blended into one undifferentiated “Walton County record.”
