No accounts, no paywall. Current data: property sales through Sept. 8, 2026, federal court filings through Sept. 11, 2026. Every page carries its source and retrieval date.

How to cite

Cite the issuing agency first, then this site as where you found it. Every page's "Source" line names the agency and the date we retrieved the record. For example:

Fayette County Property Valuation Administrator, sales list, retrieved Sept. 12, 2026; via Lexington Records (The Lexington Times), https://records.lexingtonky.news/sales/2026-09/

The underlying JSON is under /data/ and described in llms.txt. Reuse is free; a link back is appreciated.

What's not here

No arrest or jail records, no mugshots, and no home addresses attached to people — property pages show the address of the parcel that sold, as the PVA publishes it, and nothing else. See About this data for the reasoning and the caveats on each dataset.
