Enter Public Records Search Criteria in Map Format

To restrict the public records location and view results on a map, you can draw a radius or polygon shape from the Criteria - Map Format page. Finding public records located in map format is just like finding listings.

When you submit a search with a shape, results display at the Map Search page instead of the Results (List) page. See "Public Records - Map Search Page".
