• Document data: document number, type code, type description, recording date, instrument date, book/volume/page and page count.
• Release flags: tax-lien, workers-comp and unemployment releases are marked so you can separate active liens from paid-off filings.
• Matching context: the search term, search side and search type that produced the record.

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 Ohio 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 and regdata/us-county-recorded-documents lists county clerk records in TX, OH and MI. 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

Is this an FCRA consumer report?

No. It is public-record research and workflow automation.

Does it return the actual document image?

No. It returns the index data and a link to the public search page for the document number. Images and certified copies are not downloaded or sold.

Does it include UCC-3 continuations and terminations?

Fayette's public index does not expose a usable UCC-3 chain. The UCC LAND code covers county-recorded UCC land and fixture filings.

Can I search by address?

Search is by party name or exact document number. The output includes the recorded legal description and property data, which you can filter downstream.

Does it include child-support or Medicaid liens?

No. Those are consumer-sensitive and excluded.

Can I get more than 10 results on a free plan?

No. Paid users can request up to 1,000.
