This document is primarily obtained to review the collateral section, which describes the property/assets a secured party could have rights to in the event of nonpayment.

Certain UCC records filed at the district level may not appear in the central index (see districts), such as those involving timber to be cut, as-extracted collateral, and fixture filings. A certified search allows users to access these records by selecting a specific district’s database to look up a debtor.

Go to the Recorder’s Office certified search page, enter the person or organization’s name, and select the applicable district. If there is a match, it can be purchased for $25 using a credit card.
