In order to provide access to Real Estate Records, Wood County now has available the following two options depending on your usage.

Option 1: TAPESTRY - For the Occasional User.

Tapestry is a pay-in-advance method for viewing County documents. This option is primarily designed and used by professionals working in real estate or a related business. If you are not familiar in the area of searching real estate records you are advised to contact the local register of deeds for assistance.

LAREDO/TAPESTRY DISCLAIMER

Errors and Omissions: This is a working index and may contain errors and omissions due to errors in the preparation of the original document or in the indexing. The indexes are double entry verified about 5 days after they are recorded. It is recommended to search several different ways for each property, such as by both a "quick search" (party name) and an "advanced search" (combination of legal description and other pertinent information).

Images: The images are authentic reproductions of the actual document and the quality is usually good. However, blue or light-colored ink used on original documents will not reproduce well. A few older documents may be illegible since there was no requirement for legibility until 1997.

Wall Dates: The general rule is that the grantor-grantee (or party) index is available the next working day after being recorded, and the tract index (by legal description) and image is available within 5 working days of the date recorded. There are occasional exceptions due to equipment failures and high recording volumes. Email or call when you must have more specific information about wall dates.
