Baker County Directory

Baker County is a small, rural county in northeast Florida with its seat in Macclenny. With about 30,000 residents, this county has fewer offices than its urban neighbors, but the core government contacts are still important to have on hand. This page lists the main phone numbers, clerk details, and records tools for Baker County.

Baker County Government Phone Numbers

Baker County government operates out of Macclenny. The county offices are compact, and most are within walking distance of one another. The Board of County Commissioners office handles general county business. You can reach them by calling the county administration line during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.

Because Baker County is small, you may find that one office covers duties that larger counties split across several departments. Staff here tend to wear multiple hats. That can be a good thing. You are more likely to talk to someone who knows your issue directly, rather than getting bounced around between divisions.

The Baker County Sheriff's Office is the main law enforcement agency. For non-emergency calls, dial (904) 259-2231. The sheriff handles patrol, investigations, and the county jail. If you need a police report or a background check, that goes through the sheriff.

County employee phone numbers and names are public records in Florida under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. You have the right to ask for any government employee's work phone number. No reason needed.

Baker County Clerk of Courts

The Baker County Clerk of Courts is Stacie D. Harvey. The main phone number is (904) 259-8113. The office is at 339 E Macclenny Avenue, Macclenny, FL 32063. This is the go-to contact for court records, official records, and most public records requests in Baker County.

The clerk handles civil, criminal, family, and probate court filings. If you need to look up a case, you can search online through the Baker County Clerk website. The site offers access to court dockets and case information. For official records like deeds, mortgages, and liens, you can also search through the clerk's portal.

You can reach the office by phone or stop in during business hours. The staff at this small office know the local records well and can help point you in the right direction quickly. For more complex requests, you might need to send a written or email request. The response time depends on the scope, but Florida law requires a prompt reply.

The MyFlorida 411 directory can help you find state employees working in Baker County. It covers agencies like FDOT and the Department of Corrections, which has a large presence in the area.

The 411 tool shows names, titles, and direct phone numbers for state workers. It updates regularly and is free. If you need to reach a state agency office in Baker County, this is a good starting point.

Search Baker County Official Records

Baker County official records are searchable online through the Baker County OCRS system. OCRS stands for Official County Records System. It covers deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, and other recorded documents. You can search by name, document type, or recording date.

The system is free. No account needed. Search results show the document type, recording date, book and page number, and party names. You can often view document images right from the search results. If you need a certified copy, contact the clerk at (904) 259-8113 and ask about per-page rates.

For broader searches that span multiple Florida counties, try the Florida public records search tool. This statewide resource pulls data from several sources and can be useful when you are not sure which county holds the record you need.

The statewide search covers court records, property records, and more. It is a good backup when the county-level tool does not have what you need. For Baker County-specific documents, stick with the OCRS system or call the clerk directly.

Public Records Access in Baker County

Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes gives you broad access to public records. Baker County offices must let you inspect or copy records. You do not need to give a reason. Just describe what you want clearly enough for staff to locate it.

Copy fees follow state law. The first 10 pages are free from most offices. After that, you pay $0.15 per one-sided page or $0.20 per double-sided page. If a request takes over 30 minutes of staff time, the office can charge a labor fee based on the hourly rate of the employee who handles the search.

You can make requests by phone, in person, by mail, or by email. No special form is needed. Baker County is small enough that staff often know right away whether the record exists and where it is filed. That tends to speed things up compared to larger counties with more complex filing systems.
