How to Search Westchester County Records (Start Here)
Westchester is part of the 9th Judicial District and sits just north of NYC — but its record systems work differently from the city.
- Court records: The Westchester County Clerk maintains court filings in its legal division. Search online at westchesterclerk.com.
- Pending criminal cases: WebCrims for the 9th Judicial District covers Westchester, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, and Rockland.
- Deeds, mortgages, liens, and judgments: Westchester Records Online (WRO) at wro.westchesterclerk.com. Free to search; fees for document images. The archive goes back to the 18th century.
- Unlike NYC, Westchester has no county-level assessor. Each city and town — White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon — runs its own assessment roll.
- Marriage licenses: Contact the Town or City Clerk where the license was issued.
