Is there any way to find out about current liens on real property online?
I have won a judgment against former landlord, whom owns several properties that are for sale I know that it should be public info, but I don't know where to look. I live in Marion County, IN

- Your county may or may not have it online, but it is public information. In Bexar County, TX (San Antonio), it is online.
- if your county does not have the data ON LINE, ask your favorite title firm and they will ge the data; either for free or a small fee.
- You can search and pay with a credit card here: https://www.civicnet.net/landing/civil_court_records.html There is no charge to conduct the Name Search. There is a $6.12 charge assessed to view each Case Summary. There is a $4.08 charge to view each Judgment Financial Activity Report.
- http://www.biz.indygov.org/ You don't necessarily have to pay. Above is the link for the Marion County government web site. I found it by googling "Marion County" and "Indiana." If you click on "court records" at the top of that page, it seems to indicate that you need to pay with a credit card to view online. I don't get that because in many states like Florida, it's all open access and free. However if you click on "property search" at the top of that page, it looks like you can do property searches for free. That generally tells you who bought a property, what they paid for it, and what the taxes are -- not liens per se. Usually to find out if someone had a lien put on them, you would go to the county clerk of court web site -- sometimes you can find these things by googling the name of the county, along with search terms like "clerk, court, official records," etc. Then look for a link that says something like "official records" or "public records." They really shouldn't be charging you for this. But if you have to pay anyone, I guess it would be best to go through the county's web site and do it. It probably would be cheaper than going through some online private investigator service. Try surfing around on the web site link above -- it may very well be there's a link somewhere that lets you search the county's public records for free. But if it's there, I didn't find it. Hope this helps.
