Going to the County Court house may not always give you the precise date that your home was built. The information there is based upon title to the real estate (land) only -- not necessarily the house. It may be a good start - you may find that older deeds list the property as being just "vacant land" and then a more recent deed may list the property as being "single family home" or something similar. You can make a decent guess based on that information alone....or your County Tax assessor may have this information also. They use this to determine your property's assessed value.

Your question is a little vague. First of all, where is your home? Is your home original or is it newer?
If your home is in the UK, I cannot help, but if it is in the US, I can offer some suggestions:
Your tax assessor is the best place to start. Ask them to see your evaluation. It should have a date built on it.
If your home is original to the property, a simple title search will answer the question. You will have to go back to the original title. Your county recorder of deeds will have that information.
If your home is newer (and I mean less than a hundred years old), you might be able to find the building permit records.
Another place to check might be old real estate (MLS) listings. Those go back for twenty years in most states, and a previous owner may have had this information and it might have been placed on an MLS listing sheet. If you have a buddy who is a real estate agent, ask them to do a property history or an archived search for you.

If your just curious and not looking to do all the leg work, note the style of the home. The style, pitch of the roof, woodwork, ceramic tile, flooring, fixtures, windows, all can give distinct clues to the age of a home. Do you have any friends that are architects or Realtors? They should be able to tell you something.
Also any Realtor friends will have access to your tax records. That date is correct 99% of the time.
BTW - Was the age given when you purchased the house? Check your old paperwork for a date.
