Getting Started: When was it built?
Establing when your building was constructed anchors research in a finite time frame, allowing for more precise and in-depth inquery into appropriate resources.
• Use the “Property
Search” option.
• Search by address,
owner or parcel number.
• Once your property is
identified choosing “Buildings” will garner the built date.
(Use caution with the built date of older homes. Some assessor
information is aligned only with when taxes began to be paid to
the current municipality, or early records were lost and an
approximation was made on the date.)
- Ingham County Register of Deeds
-
Eaton County Register of Deeds
(In most instances you will need to visit the office. Tracing the history of your property through the Register not only will show when the Deed was created, but will provide addtional information about owners and the land.)
