How do I search for information?

When searching for information, you must first choose which county you want to search in.  The list of available counties is located in the blue box on the left hand side of the County Records Direct homepage.  Once you click on a county name, you will be taken to that county's search page.  On the left side of the county page is the search criteria box.  

 

 

Searches may be performed on the following fields:

 

Select which criteria you wish to search for and enter the criteria into the search box.  When you are ready, click "Go" to see matching properties.  The matching properties will be displayed as a list to the right of the search box.  To view more details for a particular property in the list, click the link in the ID field.

What criteria can I search on?

Searches may be performed on the following fields:

 

In general, the search criteria must be entered in the same format as the county.  For example, if the county enters Parcel numbers with dashes, you must enter the dashes to find the property.  If you are unsure which format the county uses, you may need to perform a couple of sample searches to get an idea of what format the county prefers.

Why can't I find what I'm looking for?
