I've also had success writing a form letter to title search companies in the county. Sometimes they can provide you with an link to a county property tax map for not too much money. In township range counties in east KY I was able to get 2 or 3 for about $30 each. Linda is suggesting you do your own property tax search, that works well if the deed books are indexed for multiple years and/or a property description is included in the index. dale Linda Haas Davenport <lhaasdav@cox.net> wrote: The only way I have ever been able to locate property in metes & bounds states is to track the property from owner to owner. When I'm at the current owner I ask the Property Tax Assessors' office where the property is located on the present platt of the county. You can use the deed indexes to track owner to owner. As for the court records - if you mean the land records see above. If you mean other types of records it depends on what type of record you are interested in. Things like land records, marriages, wills, probate, etc., etc., usually have indexes and you should consult those first.
