Searching

There are several ways to search the index. The most common is "By Name". When searching by name, be sure to put the "last name" space (no comma) then "first name". You can also search by Document Number or Book & Page. If you are looking for a record after 2013, you may verify you have the right property by comparing the Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) listed under the "Additional Information" section.
