Clerk and Recorder
Since 1893, the Clerk and Recorder's Office has maintained a record of real estate transactions, birth and death records and other documents submitted for public record. Over the years, the method of recording these documents has evolved from a system of manual transcription in ledger books to digitally scanning and indexing the documents. We also offer e-recording (electronic recording).
Our department is extremely multi-faceted. Here is just a sampling of the reasons you might need to visit us:
- Recording and filing various documents regarding real property
- Changing a billing address on your tax bill
- Voter registration and information
- Obtaining certified copies of birth and death records
- Address issuance
- Survey copies
- Commissioner resolutions
- County tax appeal forms
- Declaration of Homestead
- Real property research, including old well logs, covenants, easements
- School and Fire District maps
- Voluntary zoning petitions
- And much, much more . . . .
Please feel free to stop in any time Monday-Friday between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p.m.
NOTE: The Clerk and Recorder's office is similar to a library. We are the custodians of hundreds of types of documents, and we record and provide access to them. We do NOT interpret documents. We answer basic questions about how to find documents and assist people in doing so.
