How to Request Walton County Court Records (email, fax, walk-in, fees, and timing)

You might need court records to understand what happened at a hearing, confirm what the judge ordered, or share documents with an attorney, employer, or another agency. Having the right paperwork also helps you track deadlines and upcoming court dates - especially when you're coordinating support from outside.

Walton County has a court records request form for documents from cases filed in the county. Fill it out and submit by email to ClerkRecords@WaltonClerkFL.Gov. Prefer fax? Send it to (850) 892-8017.

Once the Clerk receives your request, expect processing to take up to 3 business days. Requests involving multiple cases or hard-to-locate documents may take longer.

If there's a cost, Walton County accepts cashier's checks, personal checks, money orders, credit cards, or cash. Since the Clerk tells you the amount before processing, you can wait for that total and then pay using whichever method works best.

Prefer to handle this in person? Walk-in hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding court-observed holidays. Arriving earlier in the day helps you avoid any last-minute rush.

1. Mark your calendar for the processing window - Requests are typically processed within up to 3 business days from the date the request is received, depending on volume and case complexity.
2. Watch for the cost notice before you expect records - The Clerk will notify you of any cost prior to processing the request.
