What you get

• One row per recorded lien, judgment, lis-pendens or UCC filing: deduplicated by the Clerk-Recorder's document number.
• Debtor and secured-party detail: the county's grantor and grantee lists, with the debtor side resolved per document type.
• Release flags: UCC terminations, tax-lien releases, mechanics-lien releases, judgment satisfactions and HOA assessment-lien releases are marked so you can separate active liens from paid-off filings.
• Document data: document number, document type, type code, recorded date, recorded year, sequence number, page count, book/page and verified flag.
• Matching context: the search term, search side and search type that produced the record.

• Jurisdiction: Placer County, California.
• Index: Placer County Clerk-Recorder public recorded-document index.
• Record families: UCC, federal and California tax liens, mechanics liens, judgment liens, lis pendens and HOA assessment liens.
• Freshness: the public index is current through the latest recording date, including recordings from the current week.
• Search modes: debtor name, secured-party name, exact document number and recorded-date browse.
• Party detail: the public detail page publishes every grantor and grantee name, document type, sequence number and page count.
• Party direction: initial UCC statements and continuations, tax liens, mechanics liens, judgment liens, lis pendens and HOA liens put the debtor/owner on the grantor side. UCC terminations, tax-lien releases, mechanics-lien releases, judgment satisfactions and HOA releases put the releasing party on the grantor side, so the debtor is on the grantee side.
• Limits: the public search caps a single result set at 10,000 rows.

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 "Placer County California lien", "Placer County recorder" and "Placer 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

Is this a consumer credit report?

No. It is public-record research for business, lending, collections, KYB and due-diligence workflows.

Does it cover the whole state of California?

No. It covers Placer County recordings. California's statewide UCC filings are a different source; this actor reads county-recorded liens and the county UCC index.

Does it include dollar amounts?

The free public detail page does not publish lien amounts or legal descriptions, so the actor returns the fields the county publishes: parties, type, date, sequence, page count and document number. Amounts are left null rather than guessed.

Does it return releases?

Yes, by default. Set includeReleases to false to return only new liens and active filings.

How fresh is it?

The index is current through the latest recording date. A browse run defaults to the last 30 days.

Can I search a lender name?

Yes. Use securedPartyNames to search the secured-party, lien-claimant, creditor or grantee side, including the releasing party on terminations and releases.
