County Records Search

How to do a “County Records Search”:

Your county courthouse contains what is probably the most valuable data about both individuals and local businesses.  You can also get an incredible amount of useful information from the county clerk’s office.

You can search county records by accessing free public records online using the public record holders database (if it is available) or you can request a copy from the agency which is holding the record.  In most cases there is a small fee associated with a county records search.

You can tap in to a large network of County Records, Public Records, and Property Records by searching a database like the one available on this page.

Most county courthouses have several different “records” departments such as the following:

* The Bureau of Vital Statistics – keeps records in relation to births, marriages, divorces, and deaths.
* Court Records – includes the records of the circuit court, county court, and both civil and criminal litigation
* The Department of Licensing – maintains several different records such as occupational and fishing licenses.

Sorting through country records can be painstaking and time consuming.  You may need to sort through all kinds of information that is not relevant to your search in order to find the information and records you are looking for.

Many county court records are forwarded to the state capital in summary form for permanent storage.  If you need to see the entire record you will have to ask the local county courthouse about where everything is stored.

Your best solution is to use online resources which allow you to search millions of records, usually in just a few minutes.
