Search Cache County Deeds, Recorded Documents, Plats & Property Records
The Cache County Recorder records and maintains deeds, mortgages, liens, plats and other land documents affecting real property in Cache County, Utah. The Recorder also maintains ownership plats and helps connect recorded instruments to county tax-identification numbers.
The main online system is Cache Online Records Express (CORE). Public users can search parcel information without a paid account, while paid CORE access adds recorded-document images, abstracts and unlimited searching.
Where Do You Search Cache County Recorder Records?
Start with Cache County’s official CORE system. The public search supports parcel number, owner/business name, street address, city and legal-description searching. When you need recorded-document images or abstracts rather than basic parcel information, CORE’s paid access provides additional functionality.
Property or Owner Search
Use free CORE Public Search when you know the owner, business name, parcel number or address.
Public access is currently limited to information for 100 parcels per day.
Open Public Search ↗Recorded Deed Image
CORE subscriber access includes images and abstracts. The Recorder’s Office can also provide regular or certified copies for published copy fees.
Open CORE Options ↗Need the Parcel Number?
Search CORE by owner or address, or use Cache County’s Parcel Viewer & Summary Tool. The Recorder also maintains ownership plats and tax-identification information.
Open County Parcel Tools ↗How to Search Cache County Deeds and Property Records Online
CORE combines parcel and land-record information. You do not need to fill every search field. Use the identifier you trust most, then add another field only when you need to narrow a long results list.
Open Cache County CORE Public Search
Begin with the free public search if you need to identify the parcel, current owner, property address or tax-identification number.
Search by Parcel Number
CORE labels the identifier Parcel. A county example uses the format 01-001-0001.
The parcel field supports partial matching, which can help when you have only part of the tax identification number.
Search by Owner or Business Name
Use Last Name or Business Name, then add First Name when applicable. CORE marks these name fields for partial matching.
For trust- or company-owned property, search the business or trust wording associated with the parcel rather than assuming an individual’s personal name will appear.
Search by Street Address
CORE separates House Number, Street and City. Enter the house number separately and put the street wording in the Street field.
The Street field supports partial matching, so simplify the search when you are unsure how the address is stored.
Search by Legal Description
CORE provides a Legal field with partial matching. This can help when an older deed or title record gives subdivision, lot or land-description wording rather than a reliable modern street address.
Use the Vesting Document Clue
CORE defines the Vesting Document ID as the entry number of the document of record establishing the owner of a parcel.
If this field is available in the parcel detail, save it—it can be one of the quickest bridges from a property record to the recorded ownership document.
Which Cache County Search Route Should You Use?
Free CORE Search vs Paid Recorded-Document Access
Cache County separates basic public parcel searching from expanded subscriber access. This distinction matters if your real goal is viewing deed images rather than simply finding a parcel.
| CORE Access | Current County Description | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Public Search | $0/month; information access for up to 100 parcels per day; basic tax information; detailed features unavailable. | Finding the parcel, owner, address, legal description clues and tax-identification number. |
| Paid Subscriber Search | $80/month; unlimited searches; images available; abstracts included. | Frequent deed, recorded-document and professional land-record research. |
| Recorder Copy Service | Separate per-document or per-page fees. | When you need only a particular record rather than ongoing subscription access. |
How Far Back Do Cache County Recorded Documents Go Online?
Cache County has digitized a substantial portion of its land-record collection, but document data and image availability are not identical for every historical period.
Indexed Document Data
CORE’s current FAQ says recorded-document data is mostly complete from the present back to 1969.
That makes modern ownership and deed research much easier than relying only on physical index books.
Older Imaged Records
The Recorder previously announced that imaged official records in its possession had been integrated into CORE, including many older book-and-page images.
Image availability can vary by document, so confirm inside CORE rather than assuming every old deed has an online image.
Not Digitally Indexed?
The Recorder says staff cannot locate old documents for users when those documents are not digitally indexed.
Historical research may require you to work from existing book/page, entry, party-name or vault index references.
What Cache County CORE Fields Are Useful for Deed Research?
Parcel / Tax ID
Cache County uses tax-identification numbers to connect parcels with recorded instruments, ownership plats and taxation records.
Save the exact number once you identify the correct parcel.
Record Owner
The Recorder maintains ownership plats identifying the current record owner. Use owner information as a search clue, not as a substitute for examining the underlying deed.
Vesting Document ID
CORE defines this as the entry number of the document of record establishing ownership of the parcel.
This is particularly valuable when your goal is the ownership deed itself.
Legal Description
Legal descriptions connect documents to land more precisely than mailing addresses. The Recorder cannot create, interpret or draft a legal description for you.
Ownership Plat
Recorder-maintained ownership plats show parcels, current record owners, dimensions, acreage and tax-identification numbers for taxation purposes.
Not a Title Opinion
A deed or CORE result can show a recorded document, but it does not guarantee that no competing lien, estate issue, boundary problem or title defect exists.
Cache County Recorder Copy Fees
You do not necessarily need a full CORE subscription for one deed. Cache County publishes separate prices for self-service copies, staff-assisted copies, emailed digital documents, plats and certifications.
| Recorder Service | Current Published Fee | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Unassisted recorded-document copy | $1 first page + 25¢ each additional page | When you locate and print the record without staff research assistance. |
| Staff-assisted copy | $2 per page | When Recorder staff must assist with the copy/print process. |
| Digital recorded document emailed | $1 per document | Useful when you know the document and want a digital staff-assisted copy. |
| Ownership plat 18×18 | $8 per sheet | For Recorder ownership-plat research. |
| Recorded plat 24×36 | $10 per sheet | For a full-size copy of an existing recorded plat. |
| Certified document copy | $5 + $2 per page | Use when a court, agency, lender or other recipient requires certification rather than a plain copy. |
How to Record a Deed or Land Document in Cache County
Utah statutory recording rules apply to documents submitted to the Cache County Recorder. The county reviews documents for statutory requirements and fees, but acceptance for recording is not a legal opinion about whether the instrument achieves the result you intend.
Use a Recordable Original, Certified Copy or Qualifying Electronic Document
Unless a statutory exception applies, the Recorder requires an original, certified copy or electronic document satisfying Utah’s electronic-recording law.
Add a Clear Document Title
The first page must contain a brief title, heading or caption showing the nature of the document.
Include the Legal Description and Grantee Address
Except where a statute provides otherwise, the document needs the applicable legal description plus the names and mailing addresses of the grantees.
Include the Parcel Tax Identification Number
Cache County Recorder policy requires the tax identification number for each affected parcel on instruments submitted for recording, subject to the county’s listed statutory exceptions.
When a legal description covers only part of an existing parcel, the Recorder’s policy recommends clearly identifying it as a part or portion of that tax ID.
Check Signatures and Notarization
Applicable instruments need proper signatures and acknowledgment/notarial information. Names of persons whose signatures appear must also be typed or printed beneath the signatures when required.
Check Paper and Margin Requirements
Cache County’s current recording-requirements page describes standard white 8½” × 11″ paper, one-inch side and bottom margins, and a reserved recording space in the upper-right area of the first page.
Pay the Correct Recording Fee
The current Recorder fee page lists $45 per document, including up to 10 legal descriptions, plus $2 for each additional legal description over 10.
Submit in Person, Electronically or by Mail When Applicable
The county accepts qualifying electronic documents under Utah electronic-recording law. The Recorder also says instruments may be mailed with a check for the proper fee.
Checks should be payable to Cache County Recorder’s Office.
Do Not Arrive at 5 PM With a Deed or Plat
Cache County publishes separate same-day submission times because Recorder staff must review documents for statutory compliance and calculate recording fees before accepting them.
Subdivision / Final Plats
Submit subdivision or final local-entity plats by 4:00 PM for same-day review and recording.
Electronic Documents
Electronically submitted documents should arrive by 4:45 PM for same-day review and recording.
In-Person Documents
In-person documents should also be submitted by 4:45 PM for same-day review.
No Recording After Closing
Cache County’s policy states that no recordation occurs after 5:00 PM.
Cache County Recording and Plat Fees
| Recording Service | Current Published Fee | Important Detail |

The tax ID follows a format similar to ##-###-####.
Open Property Watch ↗Where to Find the Tax ID

Once enrolled, keep your email current so alerts are not lost.

The same parcel appears in several county systems, but the responsible office changes depending on whether the issue is a deed, valuation or tax payment.

What If Cache County CORE Finds No Record?
| Problem | What to Try |
|---|---|
| Owner search gives no result | Use the Last Name or Business Name field with fewer characters because CORE supports partial matching. Try the trust or business name when the parcel is not personally vested. |
| Address search fails | Enter the house number separately from the street. Simplify the street wording and use partial matching rather than adding uncertain information. |
| You have only part of the parcel number | CORE supports partial matching in the Parcel field. Search the known section, then compare addresses and owners. |
| You need an actual deed image | Free public access is limited. Compare subscriber image access with ordering an individual digital or physical copy from the Recorder. |
| Document is older than modern indexed data | CORE’s FAQ says document data is mostly complete back to 1969. Older material may require existing book/page or other historical references and Recorder vault research. |
| CORE information seems inaccurate | Cache County states that the responsible county offices, not CORE itself, are the authoritative source. Contact the Recorder or other office that owns the field in question. |
Common Cache County Recorder Mistakes
Search Mistakes
- Buying subscriber access before testing the free public search.
- Using property value data as a substitute for the recorded deed.
- Ignoring the parcel tax-identification number.
- Assuming every historical deed has identical online indexing coverage.

Recording Mistakes
- Using an outdated recording-fee amount.
- Submitting after the same-day cutoff.
- Leaving the parcel tax ID off the document when required.
- Missing legal description, grantee address or notarization requirements.
- Expecting Recorder staff to prepare the legal instrument.
What Should You Do Next?
You Need the Deed
Find the parcel in CORE, save the vesting document ID or other document reference, then obtain the image through subscriber access or the Recorder copy service.
Your Tax Bill Is the Problem
Do not ask the Recorder to correct tax payments. Confirm the parcel, then contact the Cache County Treasurer for tax rates, balances and payment history.
You Have a Title or Boundary Dispute
The Recorder cannot provide title or boundary advice. Preserve the relevant deeds and plats, then consult a qualified Utah real-estate attorney, surveyor or title professional as appropriate.
