Welcome to the Chatham County Register Of Deeds Remote Access Site

The land record data on this site can be accessed in two different ways (Full System or Imaging System Only). Use the links below to access the site.

Full System (Indexing and Imaging Combined Retrieval)
Land Record Index Data Available: January 1, 1987 - May 16, 2012
Land Record Imaging Data Available: Books 242 - 1620 p. 1069
All Letter Books Available


UCC Data Available: January 1, 1995 - June 29, 2001
This System allows access to deed and plat book indexing information by searching on the following fields: grantor and/or grantee name, instrument number, or book and page. Once the search results appear, access is granted to view and print the images themselves by clicking on the "image" icon next to the indexing search results. If the image has not been digitized and is therefore unavailable, no "image" icon will appear. Financing Statement (also called "UCC's") indexing data is also available.
Imaging System Only
Land Record Imaging Data Available: Books 242 - 1620 p. 1069
All Letter Books Available

Plat Record Imaging Available: Plat Book 1-38, 86-99, 2000-2012 (through page 79) and Cab A

This System allows retrieval of deed and plat book images by entering the appropriate book and page numbers.  Documents may be both viewed and printed from this system.  This system is intended to be used for two reasons.  First, it allows a searcher to bypass the indexing search process if book and page information is already known.  Second, it allows access to digitized images for which digitized indexing information is not available.
 
Scanned Index Books(Imaged Index)
Indexing data from scanned index books covering January 17, 1771 through December 31, 1986.
