Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at bartonco.recorder@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The recorder of deeds' role is to receive, process, file, and preserve all public land records. They can provide records to people who are interested in a property, and they also are responsible for recording new records about the property -- especially at the time a deed transfers from one party to another. 


Land contracts, Mortgages, Chains of title, Plats and surveys, Rights of way, property deeds, Military service discharges, County officials' oaths of office, and Marriage licenses.


These are public records, so generally, individuals can obtain them by requesting them by mail or in person. Some minimal fees may apply.


The recorders office does not provide title searches.
