I want to find some information on my home, namely, the exact square feet, property boundaries, utility lines, and other construction related information. Is this on my deed, and if so, can I just request it from the county courthouse? If not, where can I find this information?

uh. you are getting some bum advice here. Square footage and construction related info are NOT going to be on a deed, a title policy or a title search. Their should be some of it available thru the county tax assessor's office, the rest possibly thru zoning.
Property boundary and utility lines will be on the survey or plat of your property; if you had one done when you bought the house it'll be with the deed. If not, you might find some of it on prior deeds; and you may need a title search to find everything unless you have a title policy purchased when you got the house; it should show utility easements.

Your deed of trust will have a legal description of the property, which may not give you much more that the assessor's parcel number and a metes & bounds decription of the location.
All the additional information you need you can get from the county recorder, but it may just be easier to have a title company run a preliminary title report - that'll give you all the info quickly.

Some of the basic information you are looking for should be in your property documents you got when you bought the house. However, full construction details (drain lines, electrical etc) are available at the city/.county planning offices. If you have an HOA, they may have this data as well.
When we looked for ours, we have to contact the city and get it, as the house is 25 years old.

You already have it, look in your title policy. You might save yourself a trip to the county clerks desk that way. I see further down someone claimed you are getting some bum advice. That person then contradicts himself and basically tells you the same thing everyone above him has. Geesh, your title documents have all easements granted in them, theres your utility lines. Boundaries,sq/ft of house and property are in there also under property profile. E mail me your address and I can pull it for you. I am glad that other answerer will never be doing any review work for me.
