Easy Access Public Records

Larimer County offers a system called Easy Access for searching recorded documents. This portal lets you search property records, deeds, liens, UCCs, marriage licenses, and other filings from 1971 to present. Documents recorded before 1971 require a book search at the office.

The Easy Access portal has two types of users. Anonymous users can view data only. They cannot see or print document images. Registered users can view watermarked images for free and purchase non-watermarked copies. Registration is free. Just create an account to unlock image viewing.

To use Easy Access for people search, enter a name in the search fields. The system will return all recorded documents involving that person. You might find property they own, liens filed against them, business filings, or marriage records. Each result shows the document type, date recorded, and parties involved. Click to view the full image if you are registered.

The system costs $0.25 per page for unwatermarked images up to 8.5x14 size. Larger documents like maps are $2.00 per page. Certified copies are $0.25 per page plus a $1.00 certification fee per document. Certified copies take 72 hours to process. You can purchase and download documents right from the portal using a credit card.

Easy Access may be unavailable the second Thursday of every month from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Mountain Time for system maintenance. Plan your searches around this window if possible.
