Public Records Search 

Our goal is to give you access to the information regarding ESTATE AND LAND RECORDS right at your office as quickly and economically as possible. To navigate easily throughout our website, you must have a name you are searching for. You will be unable to search land records by property address or parcel number. For security reasons all instruments have gone through a redaction process (social security numbers have been blocked out).

However, before you begin, please READ the SITE REQUIREMENTS TO THE LEFT. These requirements will ensure the site functions properly and delivers the intended usage experience. Effective: December 23, 2013 - Users of eSearch will have to use either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox if your computer has Windows XP. If you are using Windows 7, the only requirement is that you are using Internet Explorer 9 or newer. Java will no longer be a factor. (Posted: 12/20/13) If you should have any issues (unable to view images of documents, etc.) navigating through our website please note that site does have a Help Center that may be a quick reference for you to refer to. The Help Center is located at the top of the search screen (blue circle with a white question mark in the middle).
