There is no obligation to "Record" a Deed in Florida or in any other state that I know of. Ownership transfers upon execution of a deed, not the recording of a deed.
Obviously you're not a lawyer, because any 1st Year Law Student would know better.

The problem is that, if the county records show a recorded deed with a later date than your unrecorded deed, you may no longer own the property because the unrecorded deed may be void. So, I think that verifying that the deed has been recorded is a good thing for the OP to do.
