REFERENCE TO THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT

* Clerk's File Number - It can be any reference where the clerk's file number is listed referring to a previous document. Typically used for an assignment of mortgage recorded immediately after the mortgage or to refer to the original mortgage of a satisfaction of mortgage.
* Rec Book/Page - Reference to a previous related document. Used in assignment or satisfaction of mortgage, satisfaction of judgment and amendments to uniform commercial code. This is the fastest way to find an assignment or satisfaction, if you know one exists.
* Misc Reference - On Federal Tax liens, this refers to the amount of the lien (examples 1002.33) or in the case of a UCC there may be a reference to the address.

REFERENCE TO A LEGAL DESCRIPTION IN THE DOCUMENT

* Legal Description - This field can be used to filter documents with a legal if the document refers to a single lot or unit number. (Search example LOT 4 or UNIT 134A) This will be a SLOW search and should only be used if a query produces too many hits.
* Subdivision Name - The convention used for the name typically has a non-abbreviated first word and all words after that are abbreviated, therefore, it is best to search for a subdivision like HAPPY ACRES as HAPPY A. You can view the responses to determine exactly how the subdivision is entered and proceed with a more exact search. Prior to 1989, it is always advisable to search by subdivision name since the plat book and page data was converted from the name and may not be exact due to duplicate names of subdivision.
* Plat Book and Page - This can be used for a legal search for 1989 and later. It can be used for prior years but items may be missing.
* Block - This can be used to filter either subdivision or Plat book and page searches. Be aware certain subdivisions may have lots but not blocks.
* Township, range and section - Used for unplatted land. May not be accurate if the property contains multiples of any of the three.
