Friday, April 5, 2024 - The City of Palatka has partnered with Orange Data, a Sarasota-based technology company specializing in public records and property registration.
With this new partnership, property owners in the City of Palatka can now benefit from Orange Data’s expertise in lien searches and the registration of vacant, foreclosed, blighted, unsecured, or abandoned structures.
According to the City Code, owners of vacant, foreclosed, blighted, unsecured, or abandoned structures in the City of Palatka are responsible for registering and maintaining their property.
More information on registering these properties is available at www.Palatka-Fl.Gov/registration.
Orange Data partners with more than 30 governments in Florida, including the City of Ocala, Sarasota County, and the Orange County Tax Collector. More information on Orange Data can be found at www.orangelien.com.
Orange Data replaces the City’s previous service provider, ProChamps, who filed for liquidation in June of 2023.
“Orange Data is a well-respected company with a proven history of working with municipalities across Florida,” said Palatka City Attorney Jane West. “This partnership will be good for the residents and the City”
“The Orange Date service is providing just the first part of the City’s new efforts to make registering and using City services easier for residents,” said City Manager Troy Bell, “in addition to Orange Data this includes a new reporting system that posts to the City’s website – all code enforcement case data, cases on properties destroyed by fire, and eventually, Public Works completed work order data. We are now exploring several more solutions with technology companies to increase transparency, elevate accountability, and ultimately better serve the people of Palatka.”
