To do a property title search, gather details like the address and parcel number, then visit the county recorder's, assessor's, or clerk's office to search public records for deeds, , and liens. You can often do this online, but may need to visit in person to trace the "chain of title"—the history of ownership—and identify any issues that could affect the property. For a more thorough search or if you encounter complex issues, consider hiring a professional title company or real estate attorney.
