Public Records Requests - Auditor

​Do I want copies of recorded documents from the Auditor's Office or do I need to make a Public Records Request under the Public Records Act?

Records Recorded in the Auditor's Office

Public records like records of maps, liens and deeds are different than Public Records Requests. Customers can access public records like maps, liens and deeds by phone, in-person or by printing records from our Online Record Index. To learn more about the public records available through the Auditor’s Office or other public agencies, visit the Auditor’s Recording webpage.
