Although the fire in 2009 required some books to be sent off for rebinding & repair, we have the majority of our records available. Thank you for your patience!
The elective office of recorder was one of the first 4 local offices created by the Constitution of the state of Indiana in 1816. It is the primary duty of county recorders to record instruments submitted for recording and maintain those records for perpetuity. Documents for statistical record keeping purposes fall into four categories: deeds and other conveyances, mortgages and other liens and their releases, miscellaneous documents, and uniform commercial code documents.
