Recording of Official Public Records (OPR)

For now, we are NOT taking walk-in business.
Please send your instruments for recording by regular mail.
You can call or email us if you have any questions.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The Clerk’s office preserves all documents pertaining to real and personal property records, including deeds, tax liens and UCCs. Also, we issue and preserve Vital Statistics including birth, death and marriage records. Our office also registers and records Brands and Assumed Names/DBAs.
