Helpful Forms
Forms are provided free of charge to assist citizens in their interactions with the Clerk of Court & Comptroller
Forms listed on this site are for reference only and are not warranted for, nor are they a guarantee of, suitability for any specific purpose. They are not intended to serve as legal advice and do not substitute for competent legal counsel or direct legal research. Simple access to forms cannot serve as an adequate substitute for legal counsel. As many of these forms are created by entities outside our control, some forms may be outdated. Many forms are controlled by the judiciary, legislature, or agencies at the level they are intended to be filed or above. Please refer to appropriate Florida Statutes, Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, Administrative Orders and Local Rules and Practices for specific information.
