Glades County, FL Property Records & Statistics
Glades County is one of Florida's most affordable housing markets. The median rent is $759.50, well below the state median of $1,114 and also under the national figure of $840.25. The median home value is $80,100, far lower than $213,800 across Florida and $173,750 nationally, which points to a market with very low entry costs for buyers.
Property taxes are the one housing cost that runs higher here. The county's median property tax rate is 0.91%, compared with 0.75% in Florida and 0.74% nationally. Because home values are so low, the tax bill in dollar terms is likely to stay modest, but owners pay a larger share of their home's value than the typical Florida or U.S. owner.
Incomes are where the county differs most. Median household income is $36,123, compared with $63,213 in the state and $65,108 nationally, so the typical household earns far less than the average elsewhere. The unemployment rate is 0.9%, lower than the state's 2.61% and the national 2.87%, suggesting that work is available even though wages are modest.
Renter-occupied housing makes up 28.69% of homes in the county, above the state share of 21.62% and the national share of 21.81%. Together, the figures describe a lower-income, low-cost county with a larger rental segment than average.

Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what happens to a mortgage after it is first recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Glades County has 7,195 assignment and release records available. They include 1,297 assignment documents recorded from February 15, 2005, through July 21, 2025, and 5,880 release documents recorded from January 3, 2005, through July 23, 2025, along with 18 other documents.
These records help buyers, owners, and researchers follow a loan as it passed between lenders and confirm that earlier mortgages were satisfied. Checking them before a sale or refinance can reveal liens that may still be open, and the date ranges make it easier to focus on a particular period in a property's history.
