You can look up property info through the Rice County website or visit the County Assessor at the courthouse.

The Rice County property search tool shows owner names, legal descriptions, tax amounts, and valuation history. Just type in an address or parcel number to get started.

Criminal History Checks in Faribault

The BCA Criminal History Search is a free tool run by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. It lets you search for criminal records by name. Date of birth is optional but helps narrow the results. This is a statewide search, so it covers Faribault and every other city in Minnesota.

Keep in mind that the BCA search is not the same as a full background check. It pulls from public criminal records, but it may miss some cases or show records for people who share a name. Always verify what you find before using it for any purpose. The BCA site itself warns that this tool should not be used as a substitute for a formal background check through an employer or screening company.
