Home-address privacy in Walton County, Florida, 2026

Which routes does this county publish?

Walton publishes an appraiser confidentiality PDF carrying PA-119 Rev. 12/21. The document requests protection of the applicant's name and transfer information. It requires a separate form for every property. Because the printed revision predates later statutory changes, its category summary should not replace the current statute. Official source.

The appraiser PDF asks for a driver license, employee ID, or other supporting documentation. It includes a notary acknowledgment for physical presence or online notarization. Its reply block names the Main Office at 571 US Highway 90 East, DeFuniak Springs. It also names a South Annex in Santa Rosa Beach. The linked form supplies that branch address. Official source.

The application separates the applicant from a co-applicant. It asks whether the applicant owns the property and, if not, requests the owner's name. It separately identifies an individual, spouse, or child. The applicant must specify the statutory category. Its signature and notary block accompany that category statement rather than replacing it. Official source.

Walton's current Clerk forms page links a separate redaction request. That form covers only documents identified by the requestor. Future documents require additional requests. It preserves grantor, grantee, and party names unless the street address is part of the name. It also directs separate written requests for appraiser and collector records. Official source.

Walton's Clerk form supplies a separate workflow for documents other than Official Records. Its document table asks for instrument number, book, page, and document title. The request itself becomes a public record, with exempt content redacted if someone requests a copy. The form also permits authorized title-search disclosures. It says notice goes to the most recent address on the recorded documents or the redaction request. A protected person can use a separate release form to authorize other recipients. Official source.

Walton's Clerk form finishes with its own notarization signature block. It permits physical presence or online notarization and records whether the signer is personally known or supplied identification. Its final page also directs a person who needs disclosure to another individual to use a separate Request to Release Redacted Information on Recorded Documents form. Official source.
