PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It’s unclear just how big the outage is, but the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court’s Office is in the midst of a computer and phone system outage.
According to the Clerk’s website, access to court records and other systems is impossible right now, and the court system’s call center is also affected. The outage is only affecting public-facing records and data — there is no loss of official information.
It’s unclear what led to the outage, but we do know that a scheduled update was set for Wednesday night. The system was expected to be ‘down’ for several hours — part of routine maintenance. There is no indication at this point that this is anything more than a glitch.
