Local records and offices
Start with the office that handles your question
Lawrence is within Douglas County, but city records and county property or court records are handled through different offices. Use the address and the record or notice you have when you contact them.
Douglas County Appraiser
Use the county’s property-information and maps page for parcel and assessment questions. A county property search is another starting point when you need to identify a parcel or account.
Douglas County Register of Deeds
Start here with questions about recorded deeds and other recorded property documents.
Douglas County Clerk of the District Court
Use the court clerk’s page for court-record questions, including an estate matter. For who has authority to sign or what a court document means for a sale, ask an estate attorney or title company.
How selling to us works
Start with the address and the situation you know. We review the house as-is, give you written terms before you commit, and close through a title company.
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3
Close
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Compare your selling choices
A direct cash offer is one option; listing is another. Compare what you would keep after costs rather than looking only at a possible sale price. The Lawrence report gives market context, and the calculator lets you adjust the costs for your house.

Lawrence neighborhood and home-sale questions
Are the Lawrence neighborhood names separate municipalities?
No. North Lawrence, East Lawrence, Old West Lawrence, Brook Creek, and University Place are listed in the City of Lawrence neighborhood-association GIS. Use the property address when asking about a city permit, rental-license, or code-compliance record.
Are Eudora, Baldwin City, and Lecompton part of Lawrence?
No. They are separate Douglas County municipalities. If a house is outside Lawrence, give the relevant city or county office its exact address rather than relying on a nearby place name.
Can I sell a Lawrence or Douglas County house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Where do I start with a property, permit, estate, or tax-record question?
For city rental-license or code-compliance records, start with Lawrence Planning & Development. Douglas County links its property search, Appraiser, Register of Deeds, and District Court Clerk pages for parcel, recorded-document, and court-record questions. For advice about estate authority or a specific legal or tax issue, talk with your attorney or title company.
How can I compare a cash offer with listing?
Compare what you would keep after costs, not only a possible sale price. The Lawrence net-proceeds calculator lets you adjust the costs for your house.
