Effective August 15, 2026. These terms apply to paid subscriptions. Using a DirtDocket subscription means you agree to them.
DirtDocket compiles public land use records from Florida counties and cities into one searchable place: filings, hearings, approvals, parcels, owners and the documents behind them. The underlying records are public. The compilation, the structure, the classifications and the analysis are DirtDocket's work, and that compiled database is what a subscription gives you access to.
A subscription is a personal license to use the service while it is active. It is not ownership of any part of the database, and it cannot be transferred or lent to someone else. A subscription is for one person unless it says otherwise. The Desk plan covers up to five named people at one company. Logins are personal: please do not share your login, and do not let people outside your subscription use your access. You are responsible for what happens under your login; if you think someone else has gotten into it, tell us and we will reset it.
You may use everything you find here in your own work. Look up sites, work your pipeline, pull a case file, send a colleague or a client a link, quote a figure in a memo or a listing presentation. That is what it is for.
Copying the database in bulk. That includes automated scraping, crawling, or scripted downloading of the site or its data files, and it includes saving the underlying data files to build your own copy of the dataset.
Reselling, publishing or redistributing the compiled data as a dataset, a feed, a product, or a service, whether or not you charge for it.
Using the data to train or build a competing database or model, or providing it to someone else so they can.
Sharing your login, or using someone else's.
Trying to get around the login, the access limits, or the technical protections on the site.
Requests for the site's data files are counted against the account that makes them. Normal use never comes close to the limits. An account that pulls data at a rate consistent with automated copying is flagged, and may be rate limited or suspended.
If we believe an account is copying the database, we may end the subscription immediately. Where a subscription is ended for that reason, we do not refund the period in progress. We may also pursue whatever remedies the law allows, including for breach of this agreement and for misappropriation of a compiled database.
DirtDocket reports what the public record says, as the source published it. Records are compiled automatically and sources make mistakes, publish late, or change their formats without notice. Coverage varies by jurisdiction and is described honestly on the coverage page.
Nothing here is legal advice, a title search, a survey, an appraisal, a zoning verification or a brokerage service. Verify anything you are going to rely on against the jurisdiction's own record before you act on it.
The service is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, spoken or implied. That includes the implied warranties the law sometimes reads in, like merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We work to keep the site up and the data flowing, but we do not promise uninterrupted service: sources go down, hosts have outages, and nightly refreshes occasionally fail.
DirtDocket's total liability to you, for anything arising out of the service, is limited to the amount you paid in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses: a deal that fell through, profit you expected, or a decision made on a record that turned out to be wrong. The public record itself, verified at the source, is the only thing to bet real money on.
If the way you use the service breaks this agreement or the law, and that causes a claim, loss or expense for DirtDocket, you agree to cover it. The plain version: use the service the way section 2 describes and this section never matters.
Subscriptions bill in advance through Stripe and renew until you cancel. You can cancel yourself at any time from the billing portal linked on the subscriptions page, or by replying to any DirtDocket email. Cancelling stops the next charge and your access runs to the end of the period you already paid for. We do not automatically refund partial periods.
Prices can change; a change never applies to a period you have already paid for, and founding rates stay at the founding rate for as long as the subscription stays active.
We keep the email address you subscribe with, and the record of your subscription. Payment card details go to Stripe and are never held by DirtDocket. We log which account requests data files, to enforce the section above. We do not sell your information. The privacy page has the detail.
These terms are governed by Florida law, and any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts for Orange County, Florida. If a court finds one piece of this agreement unenforceable, the rest of it stands. If we do not enforce a term on one occasion, that does not waive it for the next.
If these terms change in a way that matters, subscribers get an email before it takes effect. Questions, or something here that does not fit how you need to work? Reply to any DirtDocket email, or write to brief@dirtdocket.com.
