Nebraska recorded documents — deeds, mortgages, liens, UCCs, plats, and military discharges — are filed with each county Register of Deeds (or Clerk where consolidated) under Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 23-1503 to 23-1517. There is no statewide index; Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy counties offer free online grantor/grantee searches.
