In Durham County, public-records questions sort most clearly by custody, court case, and property or tax administration, so the right starting point depends on what kind of record you need.
- Inmate Search Use this for current custody questions tied to the Durham County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Population Search and related Durham County Detention Facility information.
- Court Records This fits case lookup, court dates, document copies, background checks, divorce judgments, transcripts, and audio recording questions handled through the NC eCourts Portal or the Durham County Clerk of Superior Court.
- Property Search Start here for parcel, owner, address, REID, ownership, GIS, and older map or owner ledger questions tied to the Durham County Property Search and Land Record/GIS resources.
- Property Tax Use this for tax bill searches, payment information, tax rates, reappraisal, appeals, relief programs, delinquent taxes, and downloadable real property database files through Durham County Tax Administration.
