Homestead Public Records and Chapter 119

Florida's public records law gives everyone the right to see government records. You do not need to live in Homestead. You do not need to give a reason. The law is clear about that. If the city wants to withhold a record, it must point to a specific exemption in the statute.

Records you can get from Homestead include building permits, code enforcement files, meeting agendas, contracts, budget reports, and city employee salary information. These are all public. Some records have limits. Active criminal investigation files may be exempt. Social Security numbers and some personal data get redacted. But most of what the city holds is open to inspection and copying.

The Florida Department of State maintains a professional licensing directory that covers state-regulated occupations. If you need to look up a license holder in the Homestead area, this directory lists every licensing board and their contact numbers. Licensing records are public under Chapter 119, and you can verify any professional license through the relevant board.
