Welcome to Norfolk County Registry of Deeds ONLINE RESEARCH. At this site we give the public full access to the same records available to anyone using the computer search screens at the Registry of Deeds building in Dedham, Massachusetts.
We have made available to you the following:
All scanned documents and indexes are available online. For computer access, two options are available, "Log-in" and "Free Access". The difference is that the Log-in option requires an annual subscription fee and is required for printing of clean or unmarked images. There is no charge for printing copies of land documents that have "not an official copy" at top of the document. Registry land records going back to the founding of Norfolk County in 1793 are available for online viewing. The Registry's online index is available from 1793 forward. You may also search by name and check the original grantor/grantee index pages in the Registry records which are available under "Scanned Index" from 1793 through 1955. Land Court records from the inception of the Land Court system in 1900 are available online. The Land Court online owner's index is complete and its grantor/grantee index is available from 1973 to the present. All certificates of title are available in the system.

The Land Court information provided on this site may not reflect the actual status of a Land Court property title. Reference should be made to the physical certificate(s) registered in the Norfolk Land Court to verify all activity for a particular title.
