Our Records And How We Can Help You

Records

The Wasatch County Recorder’s Office contains the historical land records from 1862 to the present. In 1914 Duchesne County was created from the eastern half of Wasatch County; those land records are located in the Duchesne County Recorder’s Office.

The land records, either have been computerized, microfilmed or reside in book format. Most of the original books are now stored off site in a vault for safe keeping. The land records are open to the public in the recorder’s office to view, search and make copies.
