There are many ways to get a free property title search in the United States. One method is to call the assessor's office in the county in which the property resides and perhaps they can provide assistance. This title search should be free at the assessor's office; a person must be able to provide the address or at least directions to the property. The assessor's office can give this information
. over the phone in many cases.Another way is to search different sites on line. To find the website or locate a county assessor's phone number, the following website can be used: http://publicrecords.netronline.com/records.php?op=locator. A zip code or county and state can be specified to locate the information. Some counties offer a search of title information online while others do not.Another option is to call a local title company. Many of them will do a property title search in the seller's name to find out if there are any judgments or encumbrances on the seller. They will give free property profiles and copies of deeds and mortgages. A local real estate agent can find out about a property by looking at the multiple listings (MLS). He or she may be able to provide information on the title without any fees. Many agents subscribe to the tax assessor's records and a full search of these tax records may reveal a different square footage or other pertinent data aspects.Every city provides access to public property records. This may be at the county courthouse, the county recorder or at city hall. Personnel in these public offices are usually trained and available to help anyone needing property information and if they do not have the information, they are usually very helpful in indicating where the county keeps this information for public review.
