A title company will go down to the courthouse and do that for you-it is hard to go down there when you don't know what you are looking for. Plus they put it into a nice report that you can use for later reference.
Call any title company and ask how much they would charge just to do a "search" on your property. I work for one and we would probably do it for 50.00.

Yes check at the County Register of Deeds office in the county in which the property is located. If there is a lein on the property then to be legal it must be filed at the court house. Ask the assistant register to help you, they are usually pretty good about helping a newbie with a legitimate concern.

That information would be at the county recorder's office. I don't know if they'll tell you anything over the phone, I'm guessing no.
But it is public information that anyone willing to drive down to visit them can view at no charge. Printing copies will have a nominal cost, 10-25 cents per page, but simply viewing the information is FREE!
Look up your county online. Find the number for the recorder's office, and give them a call. If they can't answer your questions over the phone, they can sure tell you where to find them.

Call the county recorders office. Also a title report will tell you if you are considering purchasing a home.
