Recorder

The Office of the County Recorder was created by the First Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Iowa in 1839. Your county recorder continues to maintain official records of documents affecting real estate in order to protect innocent third parties in real estate transactions. Iowa's County Recorders are proud of their tradition and looking forward to the future.
