About this file

This file is an Exhibit A document establishing the mandatory format and content requirements for title search reports to be submitted by contractors providing real estate title services to Hillsborough County Facilities Management & Real Estate Services Department in Florida. The exhibit specifies the standardized structure and documentation that each parcel title search report must contain, including ownership conveyances, title history, probated estates information, guardianships, contiguous lands, encumbrances, oil and gas mineral rights, reservations, and chain of title documentation. Contractors must provide comprehensive public records searches through Hillsborough County, Florida, with all conveyances, easements, mortgages, liens, leases, and other encumbrances clearly identified with recording information, book and page numbers, and relevant dates. The report must include tax certifications, tax folio numbers, and a 20-year name search for every respective record title owner, with the vendor certifying the search was conducted through a specified date and time.

The exhibit requires detailed formatting for various encumbrance types, including easements (with designation of temporary or perpetual status), mortgages with assignment information, lease agreements with expiration dates, claims of liens, final judgments, tax liens filed by the Internal Revenue Service, and any life estates or reverter clauses. Contractors must provide either the deed number or a copy of deeds for state road right-of-way reservations and maintain consistent documentation standards across all parcels searched. The format applies to both original title search reports and updated title search reports, with the latter serving to update previously issued searches identified by search number. This standardized format ensures uniformity and completeness across all title search deliverables under the county's five-year, $250,000 real estate title services contract.
