LAREDO/TAPESTRY DISCLAIMER
Errors and Omissions
This is a working index and may contain errors and omissions due to errors in the preparation of the original document or in the indexing. The index/image is not construed to be true and complete; rather, it is a working copy subject to error, omission and further modification. The indexes are double entry verified.
Images
The images are authentic reproductions of the actual document and the quality is usually good. However, blue or light-colored ink used on original documents will not reproduce well. A few older documents may be illegible since there was no requirements for legibility until 1997.
This website contains information on Notices of Federal Tax Lien and other lien documents that is not identical in content to documents presented to this office by IRS. Therefore, the results of a search of this indexing system cannot be relied upon in judicial or administrative proceedings related to title or transfer of property, including but not limited to searches relative to sales of property and foreclosure proceedings, in determining ownership interests in property on which a Notice of Federal Tax Lien attaches.
For assistance in obtaining a copy of the required document as filed by IRS, please contact the Lincoln County Register of Deeds at (715) 539-1061. Copies of recorded documents may be obtained only from this office for which the search was conducted.
Wall Dates
The general rule is that the grantor/grantee (or party) index, tract index (by legal description) and image is available the next working day after being recorded. There are occasional exceptions due to equipment failures and high recording volumes. Effective date is the last indexed and verified date as shown on the bottom of the Laredo screen.
Note: The effective date may fluctuate with the volume of documents recorded.
