Utah Public Records - Web Search

[Brad Kroepfl]

Has anyone had any success searching through Utah public records with online available resources?  If so what sites have provided you the data you're looking for?  Ideally, I'm looking for a resource that will search multiple types of records however after finding little to nothing beyond tax delinquents I am open to anything you have had success with! 

From my searches so far Utah seems to be pretty limited on the records that are available and even more limited on web search-related resources.

Some of the items you are looking for are court records and some are property (land) records.  They live in different places.  All of them are available at either your county recorder or at the courthouse.  I would suggest that by the time a bankruptcy, divorce, or lis pendens has a public record it's too late.

For pre-foreclosure, you will be looking for notices of default which formally starts the foreclosure process.  These records are recorded against title in respective county's recorders offices.  Certain counties have free online access and are searchable by instrument.  But this varies county to county.

You should look at paid aggregators that subscribe to all of these sources and aggregate the data into filterable lists.  ListSource is one of the big ones.  But I'm sure there are others.

If you're serious about starting a marketing campaign targeting motivated sellers, I'd recommend going to one of the REIA's (UtahREIA, SLREIA or UVREIA). They have a lot of resources for wholesalers who have been marketing this type of seller for years and have lots of ways to target them. You might also get a sense of what your competition is doing so you have a competitive edge.
