Searching public records

[Slickone]

I keep hearing people say how easy it is to search public records, ie. marriage licences, by just going on the counties website. But everwhere I've looked, you have to send off for it, and pay a fee. Am I missing something?

It depends where you live. In the county where I live all the realty transactions are online for free viewing. Looking up how much your friends/neighbors/coworkers paid for their houses is highly popular.

Yes, but so am I.

who said it was free? most counties are run my morons, but they do understand $$$

how to find Gov. Jeb Bush's SSN in public records, Porter Goss (CIA Director) too!
have fun, but you might have to pay

Florida should shut every clerk's site down because there are millions of SSNs in the sites. In some sites, look up DD-214's, the Deeds, Death certificates, and judgments. Do a search on Internal Revenue Service. Every Federal Tax Lien has SSNs on it. Yet Florida legislators have allowed their Clerks to post this private (albeit PUBLIC) information online...

BTW, my 6th grade daughter came home one day from school and said the band teacher would give them extra credit if they could "guess" his middle name

searching online i was unable to find that, but i did find (through the county website) what car he owns from his personal property tax bill, that took about 15 minutes and was free
