How to Search Indiana Recorded Documents (Start Here)
Recorded documents in Indiana — deeds, mortgages, liens, plats, and other land records — are filed with the County Recorder in each county.
What this page covers: Indiana recorded document searches — deeds, mortgages, assignments, liens, plats, and other instruments filed in the public land records. What it does not cover: Property valuations or tax data (those are on the Property Records page).
Where to start: Go to the County Recorder in the county where the property is located. Many county county recorders offer online document search by grantor/grantee name, book/page, or instrument number.
Common mistake: Recorded documents show what was filed — they do not confirm current ownership or lien status without a full title search. A deed in the index does not mean it is the most recent transfer.
