How much does a title report cost?

The cost of a title search and the respective abstract (title report) will vary dramatically depending on the scope of your search needs. When discussing price, it should be noted we are talking about a certified title search provided by a professional title abstractor; not a instant "title report" available from several websites, often ripe with inaccuracies with no credibility (learn the different here). Major factors in title searching costs are:

• Type of document copies requested and the number of documents found (aka copy costs).
• Date to search back to (to patent, 1940, 1980, current ownership, etc).
• Type of search (mineral rights vs chain of title vs current owner, etc).
• Scope of search locations (county, or county & state, or county & environmental sites).
• Residential vs commercial property.

As a general rule however:

• Current Owner Search: $200 - $400.
• Chain of Title Search: $300 - $500.
• Full Search: $300 - $700.

Other types of searches, like Mineral Rights Searches or Easement Rights Searches can range from as little as $1,000 in upwards to a few thousand dollars.
