Reach Out to the County Clerk As long as you know the address of a property, you can find more information about it by contacting the county clerk's office. The specific way that you do this varies by location. Some counties have online databases that you can search.

You can find your property records online at the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Massachusetts Land Records website at MassLandRecords.com. Access is available to deeds, mortgages, plans, and other land records recorded in the various Registries of Deeds.

The County Recorder's Office will provide an official copy of a deed record for $1 per page (most deeds consist of 1 to 2 pages). If you encounter such a mailing, please call the Recorders Office (317-776-9717) or report it to the Indiana Attorney General's Office (1-800-382-5516).

Deeds are usually three to four pages. A deed states clearly the property address, grantor (the person selling the property), grantee (the person buying the property), the date the deed was recorded, and other identifying information about the property.

In most counties deeds are searchable on the county government website for free. Copies of historical deeds cost a small fee and can be obtained in person or through request through the county website. All deeds are public record and there are no restrictions to view property ownership of any property for any time.

All papers recorded in the office are public information, with the exception of military discharge papers. This means anyone can come in and look at any deeds or mortgages.
