I am trying to register, but it says my email address already exists. How can this be?
You or someone affiliated with you at some point (co-worker, spouse, etc.) has previously set up a registration for the website using that email address. It could have been a long time ago.
To get more information about the website registration that is using that email address, click on the Lost your password? link at the bottom of the Login page and enter the email address. An automated reply email will be sent to the email address and will contain a link for changing the password for the User ID xyz123 (for example). It is up to you if you continue on from that point, or if that provides you with the information you need.
How do I get my password reset?
Click on the Lost your password? link at the bottom of the Login page and enter in the email address. An automated reply email will contain a link for resetting your password.
May a User ID be used by more than one person at the same time?
No, only one person at a time can be logged in under a User ID.
Is there a fee to register on this website?
Registration is free, and is required for access to searching records. In order to see a non-degraded image you will need to purchase the county's monthly subscription (unlimited access) or purchase the document images.
What are the costs for using this website?
Website registration, record searching and document image previewing are all free. There are two options for purchasing copies of documents:
1) A monthly subscription for a county which allows unlimited viewing and downloading of undistorted document images is available for many of the participating counties. Only one month's subscription at a time should be purchased per county (although you may purchase concurrent subscriptions for more than one county) and your month starts as soon as you complete the subscription purchase. The cost of monthly subscriptions varies by county, please see the Subscriptions page on the Menu bar for more details.
2) Document by Document downloading of undistorted document images (image previewing will remain distorted on the website) at $1 per page, all pages of a document must be purchased.
County Government Records Transactions will show as "Tyler Technologies" on your Credit Card Statement
May I purchase a group login subscription?
This option is not available.
May I purchase only specific pages of a document?
You must purchase ALL pages of a document ($1 per page), individual page purchase is not available.
I purchased a document, so why can't I see its images?
Three possibilities:
1) Look for a receipt sent to the email address registered to your website User ID. The emailed receipt contains a link to download the purchased image(s).
2) Log into the website using the User ID under which you purchased the documents/subscription. Open the Shopping History (on the Menu bar), locate the receipt and use the provided link to download the image(s).
3) If the above options do not work, it could be an Internet Browser issue. Please scroll to the bottom to see system requirements.
On the County List screen, what does the Index Start and Indexed Through refer to?
Index Start is the earliest date at which a county has document data (of even a minimal amount) added to searchable fields, such as Grantor and Grantee. Please note: It is not a guarantee that document images will be available for all of those records, although all counties are working toward that goal.
Indexed Through (also called a Through Date or a Proof Date) is the date through which scanning and indexing work on records has been verified by the county.
The Indexed Through date for ABC County seems to be behind by more days than usual. Whom should I contact to check on it?
Please contact the County directly to inquire about the status of the Indexed Through date. See the County Info (on the Menu bar) list for contact information.
How can I get a copy of a document if the images aren't on the website, but the indexed data is?
Please contact the County directly to request a copy, or visit the County Clerk's office in person. Some older documents may not have had electronic images made of them yet, but copies exist at the Clerk's office on microfilm, paper or some other storage format.
See the County Info (on the Menu bar) list for contact information.
