How to Get a Certified Copy of Your House Deed
- 1). Contact your local county assessor's office and obtain your property's parcel number, legal description and date of last transfer. Provide any identifying information related to the property, such as the address and current owner. Obtaining the parcel number, legal description and date of last transfer may expedite the deed search process when dealing with certain local governments.
- 2). Travel to the local recorder's office and ask for a certified copy of your house deed. If you cannot travel to the recorder's office, ask the representative if the office can mail a certified copy of your house deed.
- 3). Provide any helpful information to the office representative, including the owner's name, parcel number, legal description and date of last transfer.
- 4). Pay any required fees to the recorder's office, if necessary.
