A Better Way to Access Your Records
One of the most common reasons residents contact the Recorder's Office is to locate information about a property. Whether you're looking for a copy of your deed, researching a property you've recently purchased, reviewing previously recorded documents, or simply trying to learn more about your property's history, finding the right information should be straightforward.
That's why our team has worked to make accessing property records easier through the Lorain County Recorder's website.
Our goal wasn't simply to place records online, it was to create a more user-friendly experience that helps residents find the information they need with confidence, while reducing unnecessary trips to the Recorder's Office.
The Property Search page has been redesigned to guide users through the entire search process. Instead of wondering where to begin, residents can follow simple, step-by-step instructions that explain how to search by property owner's name or parcel number, view recorded documents, and print or save copies when available. The page also includes a downloadable Search User Guide for anyone who would like additional assistance.
For many residents, this means they can begin their search from home at a time that's convenient for them. Whether you're preparing to sell your home, conducting family history research, confirming ownership information, or simply looking for a previously recorded document, these resources are available online 24 hours a day.
Improving access to public records is about more than convenience. It allows our staff to spend more time assisting residents with questions that require personal attention while giving the public faster access to the information they use most frequently.
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are also expanding educational resources throughout the website to help residents better understand the recording process, answer common questions, and make county government easier to navigate.
If you haven't explored our online Property Search before, we encourage you to give it a try. The page includes clear instructions, helpful guidance, and direct access to Lorain County's public record search portal, making it one of the easiest ways to begin your search.
Our team is always looking for ways to improve the services we provide, and making information easier to access is an important part of that commitment.
