What Is a Property Deed in Nassau County?

Introduction

A property deed is one of the most important legal documents involved in homeownership. While property tax records describe a property for assessment purposes, a deed records the transfer of ownership. Understanding the purpose of a deed can help homeowners better understand public property records.

What Does a Deed Include?

A deed typically contains:

• Names of the buyer and seller
• Legal description of the property
• Transfer date
• Signatures
• Recording information

The deed serves as evidence that ownership has been transferred.

Is a Deed the Same as a Tax Record?
