What Is an Online Title Search?
An online title search is a professional examination of public land records ordered and delivered electronically. Through U.S. Title Records, submitting a property address through the order portal initiates a title examination conducted by professional abstractors who access county recorder databases, title plants, court lien dockets, and tax assessment systems. The completed examination is compiled into a formal title report and delivered via email in PDF format. The scope of examination encompasses ownership verification, chain of conveyance, all recorded encumbrances, tax status, and pending litigation for any property in all 3,250+ recording jurisdictions across all 50 states.
Advantages of online title search: an online title search eliminates the requirement to visit county recorder offices in person, submit document requests by mail, or engage a local abstractor directly. U.S. Title Records maintains a nationwide network of professional abstractors with direct access to county title plants and recorder databases, delivering institutional-grade title examination results that previously required days of in-person courthouse research. Reports from $29. No account, subscription, or contractual commitment required.
How an Online Title Search Is Conducted
Submit the property address or assessor parcel number through the order portal. Professional abstractors examine all instruments of record in the applicable recording jurisdiction: deeds and instruments of conveyance, mortgages and deeds of trust, judgment liens docketed with the clerk of court, tax liens, mechanic liens, UCC financing statements, easements, and lis pendens. Findings are compiled into a certified title report delivered via email in PDF format.
Online Title Search vs. Courthouse Examination
A courthouse examination requires physically visiting the county recorder's office, searching grantor-grantee indexes, pulling individual instruments, and reviewing each document. This process can require hours or days per property and is limited to one recording jurisdiction per visit. An online title search through U.S. Title Records produces identical results because our abstractors access the same county title plants and recorder databases, but the process is conducted remotely by professionals who specialize in the specific recording jurisdiction where the subject property is situated.

Schedule of Fees →Is an Online Title Search as Thorough as a Courthouse Examination?
Yes. An online title search accesses the same county recorder databases, title plants, court lien dockets, and tax assessment records as a physical courthouse examination. Professional abstractors employed by U.S. Title Records utilize the same methodology, grantor-grantee index examination, and document review procedures used by title companies and real estate attorneys conducting in-person searches. The distinction is delivery method (electronic vs. physical), not scope or accuracy of the examination. Every title report is prepared by an abstractor with expertise in the specific recording jurisdiction where the subject property is situated.
Submit Search Request →Can I Conduct a Title Search Online Without Charge?
Certain county recorder and assessor websites provide limited free access to recorded instruments and assessment data. However, a comprehensive title examination requires searching multiple databases: county recorder records, court lien dockets, Secretary of State UCC filings, tax assessment databases, and federal bankruptcy records. Free county websites search only their own recorder database and cannot identify judgment liens filed through courts, UCC filings, or bankruptcy claims. A professional online title search from U.S. Title Records starts at $29 and searches all applicable sources. See our free property title search guide for county website options and their limitations.
Free Search Guide →What Is the Processing Time for an Online Title Search?
U.S. Title Records processes online title search 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 or microfilm research may require additional processing time depending on the recording jurisdiction and scope of examination.
Submit Search Request →Is an Account Required to Order an Online Title Search?

Submit the property address through the order portal, select the scope of examination, and complete secure payment.
