Kentucky recorded documents — deeds, mortgages, liens, releases, UCCs, plats, and military discharges — are filed with the county Clerk under KRS Chapter 382. There is no statewide index; Jefferson, Fayette, Kenton, Boone, and several other counties offer free online deed/grantor searches; many smaller counties use third-party portals.
