St. Johns County probate records and estate property
Estates are administered in the 7th Judicial Circuit through the clerk of court in St. Augustine. Florida probate procedure is the same in every county — we cover the statute and the timeline here. What is not the same is the property that comes out of it, which is what this page is about.
What probate looks like in St. Johns County
St. Johns has been one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida for a decade, but its probate estates come disproportionately from the older half of the county — St. Augustine proper and the beaches — rather than from the new Nocatee and World Golf Village stock. Those two halves are effectively different markets sharing a clerk.
The property you will actually find
Historic and near-historic property in St. Augustine, older beach cottages in Vilano and Crescent Beach, and 1980s stock in the county’s original suburbs.
Concentrated around St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee.
What to do differently here
Know which half you are in. Historic St. Augustine property can carry preservation constraints that materially limit what you can do, while the newer suburbs behave like ordinary suburban comps. They are not the same underwriting.
