How Do You Find Free Public Records Web Sites?
A public record is the information that has been recorded or filed by a government agency. The Freedom of Information Act declares that some types of information must be available to the public (such as sex offender registries, criminal records, census data and real estate appraisals). Not all records are available for free no matter how hard your search, but in the age of the Internet, finding such information is easier for the average person than it ever was before. Know that most “free” public search web sites are not really free. If you put in “Free Public Records” into a search engine, your results will most likely be web sites where the search is free, but not the ability to view the results. In these kinds of web sites, after you type in the information you want, they will tell you if any results were found and then ask you to pay a fee. You may not even know if the results are actually what you’re looking for–but without paying, you will never know. Visit government web sites.
