Welcome to the Sunshine State where "Government in the Sunshine" is the law.
But, far beyond that, your information is available from dozens of Internet sources, especially if you participate in "social" websites.
Information about your home is available on the tax assessor's web site. As you discovered, information about you is available on the voter registration list.
Information on people with federally issued licenses, such as pilot's licenses and amateur radio operator's licenses is readily available.
You can probably be found, often with your date of birth, on Zabasearch.com. For a price, companies will research a person in all available public records, to include arrest records.
Enter your name in the web browser and see how many hits you get. Socially active people will find a lot.
Enter your home address is Zillow.com for details on when you bought the house and at what price. Just don't be misled about their estimate of its current worth. They are usually wildly off.
About the only Florida record not available is your driver's license and your automobile tag registration. That change was made after 9-11.
Another exclusion from the Florida Sunshine Law is current or retired law enforcement officers, but even in that case you must contact every source and "opt out."
I quit even trying years ago.
