Searching for a Recorded Document
You may conduct a search for documents yourself in person, or request a simple search be conducted by one of the Deputy Register of Deeds using an owner’s name or legal land description of the property. A simple search performed by a Deputy Register of Deeds will provide the most current recorded document.
You will need:
- the legal land description (NOT street address) of the property,
- The legal land description can be found:
- on the tax bill for the property, or
- from the city or township where the property is located
For more in depth searches, you will need to contact a local Title Company or an independent Title Searcher.
Search Fees:
- Tract Index Fee: $6.25 per 15 min.
- $5 per search for property purchased and recorded after 1994
