Staff will assist in obtaining copies of recorded documents if a book/page or document number is provided. General information of ownership – Recent transfers, mortgages, satisfaction of mortgages will be researched back one year. Research back beyond one year, will need to be completed by one of the methods listed above. Requests to obtain copies will not be honored without payment.

Update of an Abstract of Title or completion of a Tract Inventory is always the best avenue for complete and accurate information. This office no longer completes Abstracts of Title. A private abstract company will need to be contacted.
