Property Records and Title Examination
A property records search and title examination is a systematic review of public land records maintained by county recorders, clerks of court, and registrars of deeds across all U.S. jurisdictions. The examination verifies the current vested owner of record, traces the chain of conveyance, identifies all voluntary encumbrances (mortgages, deeds of trust) and involuntary encumbrances (judgment liens, tax liens, mechanic liens, lis pendens), and confirms whether marketable title can be conveyed. U.S. Title Records conducts property records research across 3,250+ recording jurisdictions in all 50 states, with reports starting at $29 and delivered via email in PDF format.
Scope of examination: current vested owner and form of tenancy, complete chain of title (grantor-grantee index), all recorded mortgages and deeds of trust with recording references, judgment liens docketed with the clerk of court, federal and state tax liens, mechanic and materialman liens, UCC financing statements, lis pendens (notice of pending litigation), recorded easements and restrictive covenants, property tax assessed value and delinquent balances, and legal property description (metes and bounds, lot and block, or government survey). For questions regarding specific recording jurisdictions or document types, contact office@ustitlerecords.com.
How to Initiate a Property Title Search
Submit the subject property address or assessor parcel number to initiate a search of county recorder records. The title examination covers all instruments of conveyance (warranty deeds, grant deeds, quitclaim deeds, trust transfers), recorded encumbrances (mortgages, deeds of trust, liens), and documents affecting the chain of title. The search encompasses both the grantor-grantee index and the tract index where available.
What Does a Title Report Include?
Title reports document the vested owner of record, legal description of the subject property, chain of conveyance with recording references (book, page, instrument number), open encumbrances (mortgages, deeds of trust, liens of record), tax assessment and payment status, recorded easements and restrictive covenants, and pending litigation (lis pendens). The Expanded Title Search includes copies of all vesting instruments.

View Schedule of Fees →How Do I Determine the Current Owner of a Property?
The current vested owner of any real property is identified through examination of the most recent instrument of conveyance recorded with the county recorder or clerk of court. A Property Detail Report ($29) from U.S. Title Records provides the current owner of record, form of tenancy (sole ownership, joint tenancy, tenancy in common, community property, trust, or entity), the instrument that vested title, recording date, consideration, and open encumbrances. To identify all real property holdings of a specific individual or entity, a Title Search by Name ($75 per state, $535 nationwide) searches all recording jurisdictions within the requested scope.
Property Owner Search →How Do I Obtain a Recorded Copy of a Property Deed?
Recorded deeds are maintained by the county recorder, register of deeds, or clerk of court in the jurisdiction where the property is situated. U.S. Title Records retrieves document images directly from the recording office for $45 per instrument. The certified copy includes all signatures, notarizations, recording stamps, book and page or instrument number, legal description, and stated consideration. For deed information without the physical instrument, the Property Detail Report ($29) provides grantor, grantee, deed type, recording reference, and consideration. A complete conveyance history is available through the Chain of Title Report ($275).
Deed Retrieval →How Do I Identify All Liens Encumbering a Property?
Liens and encumbrances are identified through examination of county recorder records, court lien dockets, and tax assessment databases. The Property Lien Report ($95) searches for all recorded encumbrances: first and junior mortgages, deeds of trust, judgment liens, federal and state tax liens, mechanic and materialman liens, HOA and condominium assessment liens, lis pendens, and code enforcement liens. The Full Owner Lien Report ($195) extends the search to include personal liens against the vested owner: UCC financing statements filed with the Secretary of State, federal and state bankruptcy filings, and state tax warrants. Foreclosure status verification is included at no additional charge with the $195 report.
Lien and Encumbrance Search →What Is the Processing Time for a Title Search?
U.S. Title Records processes orders 7 days per week, including federal holidays. Standard reports (Property Detail, Lien Report, Owner Lien Report) are delivered via email in PDF format. Chain of Title Reports and Abstractor Services involving courthouse document retrieval, microfilm research, or complex recording histories may require additional processing time depending on the recording jurisdiction and scope of examination. All reports are prepared by professional title abstractors with direct access to county title plants and recorder databases across 3,250+ U.S. recording jurisdictions.
Submit Search Request →What Is a Preliminary Title Report?
A preliminary title report (designated as the Expanded Title Search) is the most comprehensive title examination offered. The report includes: complete chain of title with copies of all vesting instruments, identification of all recorded liens and encumbrances, easement and restrictive covenant research, legal property description verification, parcel and flood zone mapping, comparable sales data, and tax assessment analysis. The Expanded Title Search is issued at $375 per property for any address in all 50 states.

What is the difference between a title search and title insurance?
A title search examines public records to identify existing ownership, liens, and encumbrances. Title insurance protects against financial losses from title defects not discovered in the search, such as forgery, undisclosed heirs, or recording errors. Title searches identify known issues; title insurance protects against unknown issues.
Do I need a title search before buying at a foreclosure auction?
Yes. A title search is essential before bidding at foreclosure auctions, sheriff sales, or tax lien sales. Auction purchases are sold "as-is" with no title warranties. A title search reveals the foreclosing lien position, surviving liens, outstanding tax amounts, and junior liens that may remain after purchase.
Can I search property records by owner name?
Yes. Title Search by Name locates all real property owned by an individual or business entity within a single state or nationwide.
