Regardless of how you choose to get copies of your deed, it is helpful to know what type of “deed” you want. We have two types of documents commonly called deeds. The first transfers ownership of a property. We refer to these as “deeds.” The second shows you paid off a specific loan, and we refer to these as “releases” or “reconveyances.”
Our office does not have a document that shows you own your home “free and clear.”
You can find a lien by searching our Online Record Index. The most reliable way to find a lien is by searching the name of the person that the lien is against. You can also search by parcel number, but it’s not as reliable as searching by name.
If you have any specific questions about these document types, please consult a title company or real estate attorney. Our office can't provide legal advice.
If you would like a certified copy of an image, you can order one in-person at our office (2000 Lakeridge Dr. SW Olympia, WA 98502), over the phone at 360.786.5405, or via email at TCAuditor@co.thurston.wa.us. All credit cards will be charged a service fee of $2.00 or 2.35%, whichever is highest. Certified copies cost $3.00 for the first page and $1.00 per additional page. You can also order copies through the State Digital Archives. For more information, visit https://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov.
