Nassau Owners Should Use the County Clerk for Land Records

Nassau land-record questions should start with the county, not a paid deed-copy mailer. The office records real-property documents and keeps the official ownership indexes. Use its search tools to find a record or sign up for a property fraud alert. The county also has mortgage and deed instructions for copies and new filings.

For a deed, mortgage, satisfaction, or fraud-alert notice, keep the section, block, and lot handy. Search with the Clerk before paying a private service for a copy.

Keep the dated land-record result and fraud-alert confirmation with the deed or notice that prompted the search.

Search Nassau County Land Records for the property and keep the document number, address, party name, and search date together. Put any fraud-alert confirmation in that same property file so a later Clerk question points to the recorded document involved.
