Searching for Documents by Date Range And Document Type

This screen allows you to search for documents by a date range, and optionally, a list of document types.

If you wish to find all of the documents recorded on a certain day, enter the same date in the Start Date and End Date fields, and no document types. If you wish to find all of the documents recorded over the span of one year, enter the Start Date month and day with the year value as one less than the End Date year value. For example Start Date as 10/31/2010, End Date as 10/31/2011. You may only search for a single year's (12 months) worth of documents at a time. If you enter an unacceptable date range (exceeding 12 months), the input screen will change the dates to same month of same year to keep from failing.

If you wish to find certain document types over a date range, you may use the date range as described above plus enter codes for the document types desired. For example, you may search for all of the MT (Mortgage) documents entered between 12/01/2014 and 12/31/2014.

To search for documents, enter search criteria into the following fields:

• Date Recorded: In the Start Date (left) box, enter the month, day, and year (in the format mm/dd/yyyy) of the earliest date for which you want to retrieve documents. Or click the calendar icon to select the date using the date picker. Likewise, enter an End Date in the (right) box, the latest date for which you want to retrieve documents. If you leave the End Date box blank, it will default to the last day of the month entered in the Start Date field. The search will return documents dated on or after the Start Date up to and including the End Date. The Start Date may not be after the End Date and vice versa.
• Document Type: If desired, enter one or more document type codes for which to search. Document type indicates the nature of the document filed with the Recorder, such as a deed, mortgage, affidavit, et cetera. Each document type has an associated code of up to four letters. If you know the code(s) for the document type(s) you want to find, enter them directly. For example, if you do not know the code for Mortgage, type an "M". Any document type code which includes an "M" will appear in a dropdown list. You will be able to see Mortgage is on the list. Type the "MT" code. Or use the down arrow to navigate down the list to highlight "MT: MORTGAGE", and press the [Enter] key. Or click MORTGAGE on the list. Type a comma to enter another document type code or press the tab key to move to the [Search] button.

Our computer database search will yield recorded documents starting at 5/31/1988 through the present day. For images of documents recorded prior to 5/31/1988, click on the menu option "Document Images". Then, click the menu option for the type of document you seek. For documents not available online, you need to visit the Recorder's Office.

Once you have entered your search criteria, click Search to find matching documents or Clear to clear ALL the fields so you can enter new search criteria. To clear individual fields click the "x" in the right side of the entry box containing the content you wish to remove.
