There is an online directory http://publicrecords.onlinesearches.com where you can begin your search. Sometimes information is provided free of charge. You can also go directly to the county's website where the home is located and look up the deed using the owner's name, then search for mortgages and liens. Sometimes the information is not provided online and you will have to go in person to search.

Simeon, You can search for the public records using this to help....http://publicrecords.onlinesearches.com/

As Ted said some counties provide the information for free, some don't, but at least you'll know where to get them if you choose..

Good luck, Dunes

Simeon,

Some counties or local municipalities may have a public online website but I would venture to guess that most charge a fee for such a service. As a full-time Realtor here in GA, I subscribe to an online service that allows me to perform warranty deed, security deed, lien and other related searches for most counties throughout the state. Undoubtedly, this is an invaluable tool and benefit to my real estate business.

Not sure how you plan to use such a service in your area or whether you will need recurring access to such data. If it is a one-time thing, try contacting a local Realtor or closing attorney and see what they would charge you (if anything) to pull up the desired info. If you need regular and ongoing access, perhaps investing in a similar service would be a worthwhile investment to support your endeavors.

You need to go to the county registry where the property is located. Some registries to have online databases that you can check, but some you still have to go in person. You will look up the deed and page number using the owners name and then search for the leins and/or mortgages. you can check the town/city tax cards as well as most will have the book and page number for the deed. good luck with your search.
