The county index matches names from the beginning of the published party name. Use the leading words as published: SMITH, MILLER, TDH LOGISTICS, GOODLEAP, FOUNDATION FINANCE, OHIO BUREAU OF WORKERS COMP or U S DEPT OF TREASURY IRS. A word from the middle of a long agency name can return no results.

If no names or instrument numbers are supplied, the actor browses the recorded-date range. The default browse range is the last 60 days. Name searches default to the last 2 years.

Source and scope

• Jurisdiction: Hancock County, Ohio.
• Source: Hancock County Recorder recorded-document index, a free public CountyFusion guest search linked from the official county Recorder page.
• Coverage: UCC financing statements, workers-compensation liens, unemployment-compensation liens, mechanics liens, federal tax liens and other statutory liens recorded in the county index.
• Not included: Medicaid liens and other medical-debt records, generic judgment entries, child-support and family-law records, tax certificates, deeds, mortgages, mortgage releases, assignments, plats, easements, leases, powers of attorney, probate and other non-lien instruments.
• Party mapping: the published detail page is authoritative. For UCC, workers-comp, unemployment, mechanics and federal tax liens the debtor, employer, owner or taxpayer is the grantor and the secured party, agency or claimant is the grantee. For HOA and other statutory liens the claimant is the grantor and the debtor is the grantee.
• Legal: public-record research, not a consumer report and not legal advice. Do not use the output for FCRA eligibility decisions. Verify any record against the county before relying on it for a legal or financial decision.

Notes for data teams

• Results are deduplicated by instrument number across all searches in a run.
• Instruments are returned in recorded-date order, newest first.
• Names, amounts and legal descriptions are returned as published, with whitespace normalized.
• The index can publish a matching name in the first party column regardless of role; the actor maps the final parties from the detail page, not from the search list.
• The county index covers recorded instruments, not pending filings or unrecorded liens.
• The index publishes a limited set of lien families; it does not publish every statutory lien type used in larger Ohio counties.
