Where Redding land records are kept

|---|---|
| Shasta County Assessor-Recorder | Records deeds, deeds of trust, reconveyances, notices of default, judgments, liens and fixture filings |
| Shasta County Treasurer-Tax Collector | Bills and collects property taxes, bonds and special assessments |
How recording works here
Deeds, deeds of trust, reconveyances, assignments, notices of default and of trustee's sale, abstracts of judgment, tax liens and fixture filings are recorded with the Shasta County Assessor-Recorder.
California loans are secured by deeds of trust: after a recorded notice of default and a notice of trustee's sale, the trustee can sell the property at a trustee's sale without a court case.
The Recorder's online index is searched by name: it does not carry parcel numbers or loan amounts, and document images are not online.
The county's online parcel records give the assessment number and address but not owner names, so the owner of record is read from the recorded vesting deed.
Secured property taxes are billed in two installments: the first becomes delinquent after December 10, the second after April 10.
What a HeritageDeed report searches in Redding
- Assessment number and situs address from Shasta County's parcel records
- The vesting deed named by the Tax Collector's record, and the owner of record from it
- Every deed, deed of trust, reconveyance, assignment, notice of default and notice of trustee's sale recorded under the owner's name
- Purchase loans tied to the vesting deed; reconveyances matched to deeds of trust by borrower and lender
- Abstracts of judgment, state, federal and county tax liens, child support liens, mechanic's liens and lis pendens under the owner's name

What it does not cover
The index is by name: documents other than the purchase loans are tied to the property by the owner's name and are marked for verification.
Loan amounts, legal descriptions and the deed of trust a notice of default names are in the documents themselves, which are not online.
Superior Court dockets and liens that are not recorded are not searched.
Addresses in neighbouring Tehama County (Red Bluff, Corning) are not covered.
The report is a public-records search, not title insurance or an attorney's opinion of title.
What to check in Redding property records
A thorough review of a property's records covers the same ground in every county:
- The owner of record and how title was taken: the current deed, who the seller was, and whether the transfer was a sale, a family transfer, or a foreclosure or tax sale.
- Every mortgage or deed of trust recorded against the property and, for each one, whether a satisfaction or release was recorded. A loan with no release of record may still be open.
- Liens, judgments and lis pendens filed against the owner or the property, including tax liens and court filings.
- Property tax status, so that unpaid taxes do not pass to a new owner.
- Document numbers, book and page references and recording dates, so that a title company or attorney can pull the originals.
A HeritageDeed report checks all of this for Redding, CA automatically, usually in about a minute, and shows the source of every finding.

Where are deeds and deeds of trust recorded in Shasta County?
Deeds, deeds of trust, reconveyances, notices of default and of trustee's sale, abstracts of judgment, tax liens and fixture filings are recorded with the Shasta County Assessor-Recorder in Redding. Its online index is searched by name; it does not carry parcel numbers or loan amounts, and copies of the documents are ordered from the Recorder.
How does the report find the owner of a Shasta County property?
The county's online parcel records do not show owner names. The Treasurer-Tax Collector's record for the parcel names the document number of its last transfer; the report reads that deed in the Recorder's index and names its grantee as the owner of record, followed back through transfers between the same owners (into a trust, for example).
Does the report show foreclosure notices, fixture filings and solar contracts?
Yes, when they are recorded under the owner's name: notices of default and of trustee's sale with no rescission recorded, fixture filings and financing statements with no termination, and solar contracts. Fixture filings, solar contracts and liens recorded under the previous owner's name before the purchase are searched too. Energy-improvement (PACE) assessments on the tax bill are listed with the liens.
Is a Shasta County report the same as a preliminary title report?
No. It is a search of the public records named on the report, delivered in minutes. Because the county's index is by name, documents other than the purchase loans are tied to the property by the owner's name and marked for you to verify. It is not title insurance, a title commitment or an attorney's opinion of title.
