What Gulf Shores records show
In Alabama, deeds, mortgages and their releases are recorded with the county Probate Judge. An unrecorded conveyance is void against a purchaser for value or a judgment creditor without notice (Ala. Code § 35-4-90), so the instrument counts from the time it is filed for record.
A recorded judgment or recorded tax lien becomes a lien on the owner's real property in the county; liens indexed to the owner are reported.
