CountyOffice.org is a property-records site. Its About page says you can search by address and see ownership history, deeds, mortgages and liens where available, tax history and assessed value, sales history, and parcel maps. It says the information comes from third-party data providers and from public records kept by local, county and state agencies, and that it is an independent provider, not a government agency. Its privacy policy says this property information can include information about individuals, such as owner names and mailing addresses.

The CountyOffice opt-out is an email. Its privacy policy says that if you want your personal information redacted from property pages, you email privacy@countyoffice.org with the subject line "Removal Request". A granted request redacts your details; it does not delete the property page.

CountyOffice.org returned an access-denied (403) error to our browser on October 25, 2026, so that day we read the Internet Archive's most recent copies of its pages: the privacy policy (last updated September 4, 2026, captured October 11, 2026), terms and conditions (last updated September 4, 2026, captured October 11, 2026), contact page (captured October 11, 2026), disclosures page (last updated February 8, 2026, captured August 22, 2026) and About page (captured July 23, 2026). We did not fill in or submit anything. If the live site says something different, follow the site.

What CountyOffice will and won't do

  • It redacts; it doesn't remove pages. The privacy policy says property pages describe parcels and remain published, and that it does not remove entire pages. When it grants a request, it redacts personal information from the page, for example owner names, mailing addresses, and buyer and seller names in the deed and sale history.
  • Parcel data stays. The same section says property characteristics, sale amounts and dates, and tax and assessment data remain available.
  • Only your own information. Requests must relate to your own information. The policy says CountyOffice may ask for more to confirm that, and may decline or delay a request, where the law allows, if it can't.
  • It keeps a suppression record. The policy says it keeps a record of the name or address redacted and the action taken, so that the redacted information does not reappear when source data is refreshed.
  • It changes CountyOffice.org only. The policy says redaction does not change or remove information in government records or on other websites.

Step 1: email privacy@countyoffice.org

  1. Find each CountyOffice.org property page that shows your name and copy its URL, or note the property address.
  2. Email privacy@countyoffice.org with the subject line Removal Request.
  3. Include what the privacy policy asks for: your full legal name as it appears on the record, the property address(es) or page URL(s), and a contact email. The disclosures page also asks you to say which information you want suppressed.

A suggested wording:

Subject: Removal Request

Please redact my personal information from the CountyOffice.org property page(s) below.

Full legal name as it appears on the record: [your name]

Property address(es) or page URL(s): [addresses or URLs]

Information to suppress: my name and mailing address, including in the deed and sale history

Contact email: [your email]

None of the current pages we read ask you to create an account or sign in to send this email.

An older route you may read about. CountyOffice's account FAQ, as archived in December 2025, described a "Request Removal" button in a "Safety Zone" at the bottom of property pages, for verified account holders, with each request signed using a passkey. That FAQ page returned an error to us, and the current privacy policy and contact page describe the email route only, so use email.

Step 2: change the source record if you can

CountyOffice's contact page says changes to the original public record must be made with the government office or source that created it. Its disclosures page names the local recorder or clerk, the assessor and the tax collector as the official sources to check. Ask your county what it allows, for example whether a mailing address on the tax roll can be changed to one that isn't your home. A change there doesn't remove CountyOffice's copy by itself, so send the email in Step 1 as well.

Other privacy requests

  • Access, deletion or correction. The privacy policy says to email privacy@countyoffice.org with the subject line "Privacy Request". It may need to verify your identity, and it may keep some information for legal, accounting, security and fraud-prevention purposes.
  • Authorized agents. The policy allows an agent where the law permits, but CountyOffice may ask for proof of authority and may ask you to verify your identity directly.
  • Appeals. If a request is denied, the policy says you can appeal by email with the subject line "Privacy Appeal".
  • Browser signals. The policy says CountyOffice does not respond to Do Not Track signals, and that Global Privacy Control signals apply to Google ad requests only. A browser signal won't redact a property page.

Search engines

None of the CountyOffice pages we read mention search engines. Once your details are redacted, Google may still show the old text for a while. Google's Refresh outdated content tool is for that: its help page describes it for content that was deleted from a site but still comes up in Google Search results, and you enter the URL of the page and submit. For the wider picture, see how to remove your home address from Google search results.

How long does it take?

The removal pages give no timeframe. The contact page says the support inbox, support@countyoffice.org, replies within 1 business day, but it doesn't say the same for removal requests. For privacy requests, the policy says CountyOffice responds within the timeframes required by applicable law.

If it doesn't work

  • Check the page again. Open the URL you sent. The parcel will still be there; your name and mailing address should not be.
  • Appeal. The policy's appeal route (subject line "Privacy Appeal") is written for privacy requests; you can try it for a refused removal too.
  • Write. The privacy policy and terms give Growlogics LLC d/b/a CountyOffice.org, 21 Artisan Ave, Huntington, NY 11743.

CountyOffice.org isn't one of the sites in Defynta's free scan, and Defynta doesn't file requests with it: this one is do-it-yourself. The scan looks you up on the people-search sites we track and gives you a direct link to check each one.

Who runs CountyOffice.org. The privacy policy and the terms name Growlogics LLC, doing business as CountyOffice.org, at 21 Artisan Ave, Huntington, NY 11743. We did not find Growlogics or CountyOffice on California's data broker registry (searched October 25, 2026), so the state's DROP tool, which sends requests to registered brokers, is not a route here. File directly.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CountyOffice removal free?

None of the pages we read mention a fee for a removal request, and the request is an email.

Will CountyOffice delete the property page?

No. Its privacy policy says property pages remain published and it does not remove entire pages. It redacts personal information such as owner names and mailing addresses; parcel details, sale amounts and dates, and tax data stay.

Does a CountyOffice removal take me out of the county's records?

No. CountyOffice says redaction applies only to its own site and does not change government records. Changes to the original record go through the office that created it.

Why would my name come back?

CountyOffice says it keeps a suppression record so that redacted information does not reappear when source data is refreshed. If your name shows again, email privacy@countyoffice.org with the page URL.

Do I need an account or a passkey?

The email route, as the privacy policy describes it, doesn't mention an account or a passkey. An older version of the site described a passkey-signed removal button for account holders; the current privacy policy describes email only.
