Register of Deeds
The Register of Deeds Office is the place where people record documents relating to land transactions.
Different types of deeds as well as land contracts, mortgages, liens, surveys, land corners and lease agreements are recorded at the Register of Deeds Office. The Register of Deeds Office also has copies of plats and corner records.
After a document is recorded, it becomes a public record, which can be reviewed or copied by any person. The Register of Deeds Office does not keep the original documents; instead, the transaction is recorded in a book, called a "liber", which is stamped on the deed or document. A copy or image of the document is then made for permanent record.
This office DOES NOT PREPARE DOCUMENTS and DOES NOT ANSWER LEGAL QUESTIONS. Please contact an attorney if you need legal assistance.
