Searching Leelanau County: what to expect
Leelanau County publishes some records directly — 3 local sources below — and leans on state systems for the rest. For cases, go straight to leelanau.gov: Michigan courts search county by county, and that's Leelanau County's entry point. The county's own strong points: leelanau.maps.arcgis.com covers parcel and property-tax data, and leelanaucountymi-web.tylerhost.net handles deeds and recorded documents. One gap: criminal records aren't published by the county itself. Use the Michigan criminal records page for those.
