What Pamlico County records show
In North Carolina, deeds and other real property documents are recorded by the county Register of Deeds. A recorded conveyance is effective against lien creditors and purchasers only from the time of its registration (G.S. 47-18), so the order of recording decides priority.
A North Carolina home loan is secured by a deed of trust. The lender must submit a satisfaction for recording within 30 days after payoff (G.S. 45-36.9), so a loan with no recorded satisfaction is still a lien of record.
Judgments are docketed with the Clerk of Superior Court, not the Register of Deeds, and a docketed judgment is a lien on the debtor's real property in the county for ten years (G.S. 1-234).
What the report checks in Pamlico County
- Deeds, deeds of trust, satisfactions, assignments, plats and other documents indexed under the owner's name with the Register of Deeds
