General Information
Who Can Obtain Real Estate Records Copies?
Any member of the public can search and request real estate records.
What Records are Available?
Real estate records for Los Angeles County since 1850 are available after they have been filed with the Property Document Recording section. These records are available for purchase in person, online or by mail.
Copies of Fictitious Business Name Statements are available from April 2011 to the present.
Our office does not provide online access to real estate records or indexes. Section 6254.21 of the Government Code prohibits online posting of home addresses of any elected or appointed official without their written permission. Since the RR/CC cannot identify such individuals and their home addresses, which may be a part of the record, the Los Angeles County Counsel's Office recommended that the RR/CC not make these records available online.
