Step by step in Provo
- 1
Decide what you need
A current owner search (owner, deeds, open loans, liens, tax) answers most buyer and investor questions; a lender closing needs a title insurance commitment instead.

Search it yourself or order it
The Utah County Recorder index is public; matching every deed of trust to its reconveyance and checking the courts takes time. A HeritageDeed report does it for $49.
What Provo records show
The Utah County Recorder keeps an abstract (tract index) for each parcel serial number: the documents recorded against the parcel are listed together, and a reconveyance or release is tied to the deed of trust it releases.
A judgment becomes a lien on a debtor's real property in the county when the judgment or an abstract of it is recorded with the county recorder, and it is entered in the recorder's judgment index under the debtor's name (Utah Code 78B-5-202).

Questions
What does a HeritageDeed search in Provo not cover?
Judgments and liens recorded under a person's name with no legal description are entered in the Recorder's judgment index, not the parcel abstract, and are not searched.
Is this title insurance?
No. It is a search of the public record for one Provo property. A lender closing a loan will still require a title insurance commitment from a licensed insurer.
