- Flood zone and federal environmental sites near the parcel
Not covered here
- The Clerk indexes documents by name, not by parcel, so the report ties each document to the property by its legal description and marks any it could link only by the owner's name.
- Loan amounts are not shown, and delinquent property taxes (held by the County Tax Office) are not searched.
- Deeds of trust recorded before 1996 are listed separately to verify, because the Clerk's electronic records begin in 1996.
