The Clerk's Office maintains two Record Retention Centers, one in Dade City and one in New Port Richey. The Record Centers function as the retention facility for all inactive records maintained by the Clerk's Office. Records are governed by Chapter 119, of the Florida Statutes regulating Public Records, and therefore must be maintained in such a manner as to both protect the record and make it available for public viewing. The determining factor for the retention of records is based on the Department of States GS11 and GS1-SL General Record Schedules. Rules 1B-24, 1B-26.0021 and 1B.26003 of the Florida Administrative Code are also used when establishing the scheduling and disposition of Public Records for destruction.
