Availability of Connecticut Land Records Online

In comparison to other Northeastern states, Connecticut makes it fairly hard to access land records online. They are either behind a not-publically-accessible wall at FamilySearch.org or they are behind a pay wall at the Town Hall. Even if you are local and you visit Town Hall, you may have to pay to view or print records.

Much of the house history research you do in Connecticut will need to be done in the local Town Hall, at least back to 1900. At that point you can switch to FamilySearch.org which has most Connecticut land records digitized for 1900 and earlier.

FamilySearch.org – online land records at FamilySearch.org can be found by going to Search>Catalog and then searching for the specific town. Towns with a 🔒 mean that the records need to be accessed from a FamilySearch Center or FamilySearch Affiliate Library. Luckily there are number of affiliate libraries through the state.

There are a number of larger, third party vendors that provide access to CT town land records online. It’s easiest to access information and links from their main portals. Find the portal listed in the last column below:
