Prepare before you search
- The property’s county and approximate location
- Current or previous owner names, including spelling variations
- A recording date, document number, or book and page if available
- The document type you need, such as a deed or deed of trust
Having trouble finding a document?
Try a broader date range or a different spelling of the name. If the online system does not cover the time period you need, ask the county clerk about older indexes and available copies.
Is searching the same as ordering a certified copy?
No. Confirm the office’s procedure if you need a certified copy. Downloading an image does not necessarily provide certification.
Can I use a tax record instead of a deed?
Assessment and tax information can help identify a property, but they serve different purposes from recorded documents. Confirm the original recorded instrument with the appropriate office.
