## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Fayette County OH Lien Filings: UCC, Tax & Mechanics

Search **Fayette County, Ohio** recorded liens by debtor, lender or document number. Get county-recorded UCC land and fixture filings, tax liens and tax-certificate transfers, federal tax liens and releases, mechanics liens, workers-compensation liens, unemployment-compensation liens and their release chains with debtor and creditor names, amounts, legal descriptions, dates and document numbers as flat rows.

Fayette County is a separate southwest Ohio recording jurisdiction centered on Washington Court House. It is **not** the Ohio Secretary of State UCC system, and it is **not** Stark County, Tuscarawas County or any other county recorder index. Data comes from the Fayette County Recorder's public real-property index directly.

### Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify prices, read on 2026-11-06.

| Event | Price | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| `result` | $0.015 | Each record delivered to your dataset |
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.003 | When a run starts, once per GB of run memory with a minimum of one |

At the default 512 MB, a run that delivers 100 records costs $1.503.

- Apify asks for a maximum spend of at least $0.018 per run on this actor.
- Accounts on the free Apify plan receive up to 10 results per run.
- If nothing matches or the source fails, you get one row with an `error` field and no `result` charge. The start event still applies to the run.
- Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops delivering results when it reaches that limit.

### 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.
