One-Stop Shopping for Info on Cuyahoga Properties

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | July 23, 2008 - 18:35

The new Cuyahoga Enterprise Geographic Information System (CEGIS)
provides detailed information on houses and businesses in the county. Just type in an address or owner's name. The system combines information from the Cuyahoga County Auditor's Office and Recorder's Office. It will show the property owner, liens, how much was paid for the house, whether taxes have been paid and a detailed deed transfer history. There is a map which shows information about the property's neighborhood - census information, nearby sex offenders, nearby foreclosures and more.

The site is free, with registration. The database is still in its testing phase.
