Searching Records Options

Telephone searches are not conducted. A records search can be conducted online or by visiting or sending a request to the Recorder of Deeds Office. Records prior to 1964 are not yet online and can be accessed in only two ways: by coming to one of Recorder Office. The data for real estate recordings from January 1, 1961, to the present is available at the office and online.

Please Note

A Department representative's function is to aide you in your search. State law prohibits employees from making assessments or judgments pertaining to the current status of a property title. They are unable to discern whether or not there are encumbrances of any sort, including liens, mortgages and foreclosures, on a piece of land. However, they may still assist you in your search through our public access terminals, and you may purchase copies of any documents you find.
