Questions
What does a HeritageDeed search in Erie County not cover?
Erie County does not publish the city agency data (housing and building violations) that New York City does, so those sections are not part of an Erie report.
Is this title insurance?
No. It is a search of the public record for one Erie County property. A lender closing a loan will still require a title insurance commitment from a licensed insurer.
