From June 2010 through June 2011, $2.91 billion dollars worth of real estate transactions occurred in the county. That's down more than 2 percent from the year before with nearly $3 billion in sales.

Manatee Clerk warns homeowners of deed scam

Bradenton, FL—Some Manatee County homeowners are receiving letters from companies offering to sell them a certified copy of their deed.  These copies are being offered for prices ranging from $50 to $100 per deed. 

The letters periodically appear in Manatee County and are often concentrated in a specific zip code or neighborhood, so that neighbors receive the letters at the same time.

“Your deed is a public record and is permanently maintained and preserved by the Manatee Clerk of Circuit Court and County Comptroller’s Office,” says Clerk R. B. “Chips” Shore.  “You do not have to pay a private company for a copy.  You can view and print, for free, a non-certified copy of your deed from our website:  www.ManateeClerk.com. Should you ever need a certified copy, the cost is $1.00 per page and $2.00 for the certification.  In most cases, the total cost will be between $3.00 and $5.00.”
