Domestic Partnership Registry

Adults who are in a domestic partnership may register with the City Clerk's Office as permitted under City Ordinance 2013-01. The protections afforded by this ordinance apply only within the official city limits of Tavares, Florida.

Couples should appear in person and appointments should be made in advance by calling 352.742.6209, or emailing the City Clerk at snovack@tavares.org.

It is recommended that couples review the requirements and fill out the necessary forms before they visit City Hall. Please do not sign the forms, they must be witnessed and notarized in person by the City Clerk.

Please bring a drivers license, or government issued ID such as a military card, alien card, or Florida Identification card, for proper identification for the notary.
