About Laredo: Laredo is a software tool that can be used to access Real Estate Records On-Line.  To use this tool you need to be signed up for a Laredo Access Agreement which charges a monthly fee for access.  Fees are based on hourly usage per month.  Monthly cycles begin on the 1^st of every month.  In addition to monthly charges there is a charge per page to print documents.

The index of records is available beginning June 1, 1985. The index information of a recorded document is available as per the "down to date" posted in the recorder's office, which is usually within a 3 to 5 day period.

Fidlar, the software company that licenses Laredo, has a pay per use option for casual users who want to retrieve documents on-line but will not need monthly access.  To access this option called Tapestry click on the link below.
