How to Search Delaware Property Records

Delaware property records are handled at the county level. Each county Assessor sets property values for tax purposes, and the County Recorder records deeds and mortgages. Some counties combine these offices; others keep them separate.

  • County Assessor: property valuations, tax bills, and parcel maps.
  • County Recorder: deeds, mortgages, liens, and recorded documents.
  • Property tax search: through each county Treasurer or tax collector.
  • Statewide parcel data: many states publish GIS parcel maps through the Department of Revenue or state GIS office.
  • For specific parcel info, contact the county Assessor where the property is located.
