Use cases

Coverage and freshness

Fayette County, Kentucky (Lexington-Fayette Urban County).

The actor covers the recorded instruments where the public index publishes the parties needed for a lien record:

Family	Instruments
UCC fixture	FIXTURE AND UCC, FIX AMENDMENT, FIX AMED TERM, FIX PART REL, UCC FIX ASSGNMT
Federal tax	FED LIEN, FED TAX RELEASE
Kentucky state tax	STATE TAX LIEN, STATE TAX REL

The public index does not publish a claimant or creditor for mechanics liens, judgment liens, local-county liens or lis pendens, so those families are not sold as two-party lien records. Deeds, mortgages, releases of mortgage, plats, easements, leases, powers of attorney, military discharges and other non-lien instruments are never returned.

Data comes from the public Fayette County index at run time. The index displays its last verified recording date on the public search page. Records appear after the county indexes them; same-day filings can lag.

Comparison with other Apify actors

No dedicated actor for this source on the Apify Store as of November 2026. We searched the public Store on 2026-11-06 with queries including "Fayette County Kentucky lien", "Fayette County recorder" and "Fayette County ucc", and we reviewed the listings for this source and data type. Broader actors exist: shelvick/property-deed-records searches deed and lien records from county recorder indexes. Their listings do not name this source, so we could not confirm that they cover it. Store listings change, so run the same search before you rely on this.

FAQ

Does this cover Kentucky statewide UCC filings?

No. This is the Fayette County Clerk recorded-document index. Kentucky statewide UCC filings are a separate source.

Does it cover mechanics or judgment liens?

Those instruments are recorded in Fayette County, but the public index does not publish the claimant or creditor for them. This actor returns only families where the debtor and claimant sides are available, so it does not sell one-sided mechanics or judgment records.

Why is the secured party for a federal tax lien shown as INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE?

The public index records the taxpayer but not the agency on those instruments. The actor marks the claimant inferred_from_document_type and keeps the published grantor and grantee lists so the inference is visible.

Can I look up one instrument number?

Yes. Put the 12-digit instrument number in documentNumbers.

Does it return document images?

No. It returns the public index fields and a link to the public detail page. Images and certified copies are not downloaded.

Is this a consumer credit report?

No. It returns public recorded documents for research and workflow automation. It is not a consumer report under the FCRA and must not be used to decide credit, employment, housing or insurance eligibility.
