About NoticeRegistry

We built NoticeRegistry because US public notice data is a mess. Foreclosures, probate filings, name changes, and tax liens are legally required to be published, but they're buried in 1990s-era county databases and tiny newspaper print archives almost nobody can search. So we put them all in one place.

We index thousands of public records every day across California, Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, and Washington, and we're adding more states. We turn dense legal language into plain-English summaries, and we link every record back to its original government or court source so you can verify anything you find on our site.

Our mission

We want to turn fragmented US public-record data into one searchable database, so homeowners, investors, attorneys, and journalists can look up legal filings across counties and states without learning fifty different clerk-portal interfaces.

Editorial standards

Our indexing pipeline is automated, but we vet it by hand. Before a new source goes live, we check it against the originating county clerk's office or state gazette. AI writes the plain-English summaries and we review them against the source text. If we can't confirm a data point, we don't publish it, and we cite the original source on every notice page.

Error reports are reviewed within 48 hours. We maintain a correction log and update affected notice pages when errors are confirmed. If you find an inaccuracy, email contact@noticeregistry.com with the notice URL and a description of the issue.

Who we are

We're a small team led by Axel Svensson, a software engineer based in Stockholm, Sweden. We started NoticeRegistry after watching investors, attorneys, and researchers do the same painful work over and over: stitching together fragmented public-notice data county by county, by hand.

We're independent. We aren't affiliated with any law firm, title company, or government agency, and we don't give legal advice. We just make public information easier to find. For complex legal matters, talk to a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.

Data sources & coverage

We index public notices from 10 US states: California, Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, and Washington. We pull directly from official courthouse portals and legally-designated publication newspapers in each state, the same primary sources attorneys use to meet legal notice publication requirements.

When a notice arrives, we parse the raw text, geocode it to coordinates, categorize it by notice type, and summarize it in plain English using AI. We always preserve the original full text alongside the summary, and the geographic data is what powers the map view and address-based search.

Contact & privacy requests

Public notices are government-mandated records, so we can't remove them from our index. But if a notice contains your personal information and you want to limit its visibility in search engines, you can submit a search suppression request. For error reports, press inquiries, or general questions, visit our contact page or email contact@noticeregistry.com. We respond to all requests within two business days.
