A property records search examines official government records to determine who owns a property, what liens are attached, how ownership has changed over time, and what restrictions apply. These records are held by county recorders, clerks of court, and assessors. Because a title search reads several of these systems as one record, it surfaces defects a single index cannot.
The examination verifies the current vested owner from the recorded deed, not the tax roll. Then it traces the chain of conveyance, identifies mortgages and deeds of trust, and flags judgment liens, tax liens, mechanic liens, and lis pendens. So the report confirms whether marketable title can pass before you buy, sell, or lend.
Coverage runs to over 3,250 recording jurisdictions across all 50 states, plus Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Every fee stays flat, whether the property is a $100,000 starter home or a $10 million commercial building.
Ways to Search Property Title by Address or Name
You can Search Property Title using the property address with the $29 Property Detail Report, or by owner name at $95 with statewide or nationwide coverage selected at checkout. Both routes return the same cited findings, so the choice depends on your question rather than the outcome.
Search by Address
A property search by address returns current ownership, transfer history, open mortgages, recorded liens, and tax status for any address in all 50 states. Start with the $29 Property Detail Report.
Search by Owner Name
A title search by name at $95 locates every parcel vested in an individual or entity, statewide or nationwide. One order finds every property tied to a debtor, heir, or business partner.
Search by Parcel Number
Where no street address exists, order by assessor parcel number with county and state. This route works for vacant land, agricultural acreage, and newly split parcels.

How to Search Property Title Online
To Search Property Title online, submit the address at the order portal and pick a report. Then a professional abstractor examines the county record and returns the findings by email. The whole process runs in four short steps.
First
Enter the property address, or the assessor parcel number with county and state when no street address exists. No login or account is required.
Next
Select the report scope: ownership verification at $29, recorded liens at $95, the property and owner examination at $195, or the full preliminary scope at $385.
Then
A professional title abstractor examines county recorder instruments, court dockets, tax rolls, and state filings at the time of your order.
Finally, findings arrive with a recording reference on every entry. Orders process seven days a week, including holidays. Because the work runs through a proprietary network of county databases, title plants, and local abstractors built out since 2009, retrieval continues on microfilm and microfiche where digitization stopped.
Who Uses This Property Title Search Service
Six desks rely on the ability to Search Property Title, and each one uses a different report set. So the right scope depends on the job, not the property.
Homebuyers and Owners
Verify the seller holds clear title, identify liens that must clear at closing, and review tax status. The $195 scope reads the property and the seller together.
Investors and Auction Buyers
Auction purchases transfer as-is, so a pre-bid search reveals the foreclosing lien position, what survives the sale, and redemption windows.
Attorneys
Chain of title abstracts and lien searches for quiet title actions, estate administration, and probate research, print-ready as exhibits.
Lenders
Verify marketable title and lien position before funding, with the documentation underwriting requires.
Title Companies
Out-of-area research, peak overflow, and non-digitized retrieval across 3,250+ counties at the same flat rate.
Judgment Creditors
Locate all real property owned by a person or entity, statewide or nationwide, for recovery and estate research.
Search Property Title in Any State
Complete coverage runs across all 50 states, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Because recording practice is local even where the law is not, each jurisdiction sets its own indexing and digitization boundary. Recording standards are coordinated nationally through the Property Records Industry Association, while county governance varies as the National Association of Counties documents.
Each state guide carries its recording office, foreclosure path, and the local rule that changes the search. Start at the property records by state directory.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I search for a title on a property?
Submit the property address at the order portal and select a report type. You can search title of property for any residential, commercial, or land parcel in all 50 states, and the search returns the same cited findings whether you search by address or by owner name. Reports start at $29 and arrive by email in PDF format, with no login or account required.
How much does a title search cost?
Title search costs run from $29 to $385. The Property Detail Report is $29, the Property Lien Report $95, the Full Property/Owner Lien Report $195, and the Expanded Title Search $385. Pricing is identical in every recording jurisdiction, and no subscription is required.
Can I search by title or search by owner name?
Both. You can search by title using the property address with the $29 Property Detail Report, or search by owner name at $95 with statewide or nationwide coverage selected at checkout. The name search locates every parcel vested in a specific person or entity across the counties in scope.
Is a property search the same as a title search?
The two overlap but differ in depth. A property search verifies ownership, sale history, and tax data. A title search adds the full examination of liens, encumbrances, and the chain of title. Both are available here: the $29 Property Detail Report for a fast property search, and the $385 Expanded Title Search for a complete title examination.
How long does a title search take?
Standard reports arrive by email in 24 to 48 hours statewide and 48 to 72 hours nationwide, and orders process seven days a week including holidays. However, chain of title searches and abstractor services involving courthouse retrieval or microfilm research may take 2 to 5 business days depending on the jurisdiction.
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 is a separate indemnity policy protecting against defects the search cannot find, such as forgery, undisclosed heirs, and recording errors. So searches identify known issues while insurance protects against unknown ones, and lenders generally require both. The CFPB's homeownership resources cover how title charges appear at settlement.
Do I need an account or subscription to order?
No. There is no login, no subscription, no membership, and no contract. Visit the order portal, provide the address, select a report, and complete payment. One payment per report, and nothing recurs afterward.
