How to Search Public Records in Larimer County
A careful search starts broadly, then narrows results using reliable details. Keep notes that can help locate the correct official custodian later.
- Start with the name and any relevant alternate spelling.
- Compare possible matches using available identifying details.
- Record useful dates, case numbers, agencies, or other identifiers.
- Select the official source that maintains the record needed.
Useful identifiers can include:
- Case number for a court matter.
- Property address for real-estate research.
- Parcel, folio, or account identifier for an assessment or tax system.
- Recording or instrument number for a recorded document.
An identifier that works in one record system may not work in another. For example, a court case number is different from a property parcel number or recorded-document number.

- A recorded deed, assessed value, and tax balance are different types of property information.
- An index entry or ordinary record copy is not necessarily a certified document.
