How recording works here

Ownership data are kept by the Fayette County Auditor, separately from the recorded documents.
What a HeritageDeed report searches in Washington Court House

What it does not cover
Where a document cannot be tied to the property by its legal description or street address, it is marked as linked by the owner's name only.

The report is a public-records search, not title insurance or an attorney's opinion of title.
What to check in Washington Court House 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 Washington Court House, OH automatically, usually in about a minute, and shows the source of every finding.
