About Public Records Searches

Stratus MLS's Public Records Search feature lets you find tax record, mortgage, deed, property characteristics, and related information for over 1.6 million properties in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Kings/Brooklyn Counties.

The system offers a number of ways to search, save and share searches, as well as collect, map, download, and work with results.

At any public records search form, enter or select search text for any field and add more fields, if desired, from the Other Fields dropdown list.

Searching public records is very similar to searching Listings. The action and site action bars provide the same functionality.
