Over the Counter
Copies of recorded documents can be purchased in the Recorder’s Office from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for legal holidays. The customer completes a Copy Request Form and gives it to the Front Desk Clerk. If the document was recorded from 1990 to the present, or for older records, if you are able to conduct your own search and provide us with the document number, the copy will be made while you wait. Payment for an over-the-counter copy can be made by cash, check, or money order.
