The 4-Step Pulaski County Records Pathway
1
Step 1 — Start at the Pulaski County clerk/courthouse
For most local records (court cases, property deeds, marriage licenses), the Pulaski County clerk's office is the first stop.
2
Step 2 — Use the Kentucky statewide systems
Criminal background, court case search, voter registration, and professional licensing are all run at the Kentucky state level — not by the county.
3
Step 3 — Federal sources for federal records
Federal court cases (PACER), federal tax liens (IRS), military records (NPRC), and immigration data (ICE) are all federal — not held by the county.
4
Step 4 — Cross-check before relying on data
Most county portals lag 24-48 hours behind the courthouse. For time-sensitive verification, call the clerk directly.
Five Things People Get Wrong About Pulaski County Records
❌ Myth: "Pulaski County maintains all criminal records."
✓ Truth: False. Criminal records for Pulaski County are held by the Kentucky state repository, NOT the county. The county sheriff has only the local arrest log.
❌ Myth: "Records sealed in Pulaski County are gone everywhere."
✓ Truth: False. Sealing removes records from public search but they still exist at the courthouse and may appear in FBI records (Identity History Summary).
❌ Myth: "Free 'instant background' sites have Pulaski County data."
✓ Truth: False. Only the official Kentucky state repository has verified, current Pulaski County data. Free sites often have stale data.
❌ Myth: "The Pulaski County assessor's value is what I'll sell my home for."
✓ Truth: False. The Pulaski County assessor's value is for property tax purposes only — usually below market value.
❌ Myth: "All county records older than 50 years are public."
✓ Truth: Partially false. Public-records rules vary by record type AND state. Court records and deeds are usually older-public; vital records remain restricted longer (often 75-125 years).

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find Pulaski County property records?
Pulaski County property records are maintained by the County Clerk, which records deeds, mortgages, and liens. Search the Search Results - BLM GLO Records portal directly: https://glorecords.blm.gov/results/default.aspx.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Kentucky?
Yes. Search the court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Kentucky counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in Kentucky?
In Kentucky, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by Kentucky law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process runs through the sentencing court.
What's the difference between a court record and a criminal record in Kentucky?
A court record shows everything filed in a specific case — pleadings, motions, judgments. A criminal record (rap sheet) is a person-centric history from the Kentucky State Police that aggregates arrests and dispositions across all courts in Kentucky. Court records are searched by case; criminal records by person.
