Questions
Can the City Clerk provide certified copies?
The Clerk can certify city legislative records. Certified birth, death, or marriage copies are issued by County or State Vital Records; land record certification is by the County Recorder.
How do I confirm which county holds Montgomery property records?
Use the parcel search to identify the parcel number and tax authority on the tax bill; that county’s Recorder and Assessor hold the land and parcel records.
Are older deed or minute records online?
Online indexes may be partial by year; older items can require book/page lookups or an archive request. Use date filters and request legacy volumes if needed.
