What property records are

Property records are the public documents that describe a piece of real estate and the people connected with it. The two main record keepers are the county recorder, sometimes called the register of deeds or county clerk, who records deeds, mortgages, and liens, and the county assessor, who values property for tax purposes. A tax collector or treasurer handles the tax bills themselves.

Because every county keeps its own records, researching one address can mean checking several offices. A property records report organizes the available information for an address in one place.

What a property report may include

Fields vary by county. Some counties publish detailed building data; others share little more than an owner name and an assessed value.

Owner names and mailing address
Deed and transfer history
Assessed value and property tax details
Recorded sales
Liens and other recorded claims
Parcel number, lot size, and building details

Common reasons to look up a property

People research property records before making an offer on a home, to learn who owns a neighboring or vacant lot, to check the assessed value of their own home, to review a property’s sales history, or to gather details for an estate or family matter.

Use and accuracy

PureDocs is an independent data platform, not a county office, title company, or government agency. A property report is not a title search, an appraisal, or a legal opinion. For a real estate transaction, rely on a licensed title professional and the official county records.

Questions

Before you search

Are property records public?: In the U.S., deeds, assessments, and most other real property records are public. Some states let certain owners, such as law enforcement officers or survivors of domestic violence, shield their names.
Do I need the ZIP code?: It helps. Enter the street address, city, and state; if a ZIP code is needed to identify the property, you will be asked to confirm it before the report is prepared.
Is a property report the same as a title search?: No. A title search is a professional review of the full chain of title used in real estate closings. A property report summarizes available records and does not determine legal ownership or lien priority.
How current are property records?: Recording and assessment schedules vary by county. A recent sale or a new lien can take weeks to appear, and assessments are often updated once a year or less.
Will the owner know I searched?: No. Searches are private, and nothing is shared with the owner or the property.
