Not a Consumer Reporting Agency. This website is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The information here, and on any third-party tool linked from this site, may not be used to make decisions about credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose covered by the FCRA.
How Current Is the Information
Records offices can revise portals, fees, hours, and procedures with little notice. Index entries are corrected, cases may be sealed or expunged, and property ownership changes. Although we work to keep the material current, no detail is guaranteed to be accurate at every moment. Confirm a record with the Orange County, Durham County, Chapel Hill, or North Carolina custodian before relying on it.
No Legal Advice
Nothing published here is legal advice. The site identifies record sources and describes how Chapel Hill records generally work, but it cannot replace advice from a licensed attorney.
Lawful Use Is Required
Public records support government transparency and must not be used to cause harm. Never use information reached through this site to stalk, harass, intimidate, or injure another person. Misuse of personal data may violate North Carolina or federal law and also breaches the Terms of Use.
Outside Search Tools
Some pages contain or refer to search boxes supplied by third-party companies. We do not control their results, charges, or treatment of submitted data. Accuracy is not promised, and results from those services are not FCRA-compliant consumer reports.
Links to Other Sites
Links may lead to register of deeds indexes, court search portals, assessor and GIS viewers, elections lookups, vital records offices, licensing boards, and library collections. Each outside site controls its own content and availability. We are not responsible for either.
Government Records Are Not Hosted
No government record, court file, vital certificate, property roll, or voter file is hosted here. Those materials remain with the offices and portals that keep them. Requests to obtain, verify, or correct a record must go to the responsible custodian.
