Iron County UT Recorder: Deeds & Records
Use the Iron County Recorder / Surveyor when you need Utah land records such as deeds, mortgages, liens, plats, ownership plats, document copies, certified copies, filed surveys, military discharge recording, or parcel-related record help. The office is listed at 68 S 100 E, Parowan, UT 84761.
Iron County’s official Recorder page says the office records, stores and retrieves land documents in the public record and helps the public locate real property parcels on ownership plats. Online searching is available through Iron County EagleWeb, but EagleWeb notes that recorded document images must be viewed at the Recorder’s office.
What Does the Iron County Recorder Handle?
The Iron County Recorder handles public land-record recording and retrieval for Iron County, Utah. Use this office for recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, plats, ownership plats, military discharge recording/certified copies, document copies, and public record location help.
Deeds, Mortgages and Liens
Search the Recorder system when you need to find a recorded deed, trust deed, mortgage, lien, release, reconveyance, easement or other document that affects real property.
Best first step: gather owner names, parcel serial number, recording date or entry number.
Ownership Plats and Parcel Help
Iron County says ownership plats identify ownership, acreage, parcel address, taxing units and owner address. These details can help connect a parcel to the correct recorded document.
Best first step: use parcel or property-account tools when you only know an address.
Property Watch / Fraud Guard
Iron County links Property Watch / Fraud Guard as a way to help prevent property fraud by alerting property owners to recorded activity. Treat it as a notice tool, not title insurance.
Best first step: register your name or property after confirming the official county link.
How to Search Iron County Deeds and Land Records
Iron County uses EagleWeb for Recorder/Assessor public searching. The online system is useful for locating document index information and property-account details, but recorded document images may require an in-office visit to the Recorder’s office.
Choose a search need above, then follow the official Iron County route shown here.
| Task | Use This Route | What to Search | If No Result Appears |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recorded deed, mortgage or lien | Iron County EagleWeb / Recorder search. | Grantor, grantee, trustor, beneficiary, recording date, entry number, document type, parcel serial number or subdivision name. | Try name variations, business names, former owners, broader dates, or call the Recorder for older index help. |
| Document image | Recorder office visit when EagleWeb does not provide the image. | Entry number, book/page if available, recording date, party names and document type. | EagleWeb says recorded document images require visiting the Recorder’s office, so plan for an in-office request. |
| Property-account or parcel details | Iron County property accounts / EagleWeb property search. | Parcel serial number, owner name, property address, subdivision, acreage or taxing unit information. | Search fewer words, remove punctuation, try last name only, or use the map/GIS route for parcel context. |
| Recorded plats and survey plats | Recorded Plats / Search Survey Plats links from the Recorder page. | Subdivision name, plat name, surveyor, survey date, section/township/range, parcel serial number or property location. | Contact the Recorder/Surveyor if the survey is recent, unindexed, older, or not visible through the online link. |
| Property fraud alerts | Property Watch / Fraud Guard link from Iron County. | Your name, trust name, business name, property owner name or other monitored identity. | Remember that alerts do not block fraud. They help you notice activity so you can follow up quickly. |
How to Search Iron County Recorder Records
Use this workflow before paying for copies, assuming an image is missing, or treating an index result as a complete title report.
Confirm the property is in Iron County, Utah
Check the property address, parcel serial number, subdivision, city/town and legal description. This is important for properties near county boundaries or rural areas where mailing cities can be confusing.
Start with EagleWeb or the property-account route
Use the Iron County Recorder/Assessor EagleWeb route for public searching. If the search is address-based, use property-account details first so you can identify the owner, parcel serial number and tax/plat context.
Search by parties and recording clues
Try grantor and grantee names, lender names, trust names, business names, spelling variations, document type, date range, entry number and parcel serial number. Older documents can have different abbreviations or name formats.
Verify the result against the parcel
Compare legal description, serial number, subdivision, owner names, acreage, property address and recording date. A name match alone is not enough for a legal or financial decision.
Request the image or certified copy when needed
If you need the actual document image, official copy or certification, contact the Recorder. EagleWeb’s about page says document images require visiting the Recorder’s office.
Use professional help for title conclusions
The Recorder’s page says the office does not perform title searches or give legal advice. For clear-title questions, deed drafting, boundaries, easements, probate transfers, lien priority or water-rights issues, use a qualified Utah professional.
Recording a Deed, Mortgage, Plat or Land Document in Iron County
Before submitting a document to the Iron County Recorder, check the county checklist, Utah recording standards, fee schedule, serial number, legal description, signatures, notary acknowledgment and return/copy needs.
Original Signatures and Notary
Iron County’s checklist says each document must contain original signatures and a notary. Utah recording law also requires documents affecting real property to meet acknowledgment and signature standards unless an exception applies.
Legal Description and Serial Number
The county checklist says the document must contain a legible legal description of the property and the serial number. This helps the Recorder abstract and index the instrument to the correct property.
Grantee Mailing Address
If the document conveys property, Iron County says the grantee’s mailing address must be included. This is also important for assessment, taxation and future county correspondence.
| Recording / Copy Item | Iron County Detail | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Standard document fee | $45.00 according to Iron County’s fee schedule effective May 6, 2026. | Use $45 as the starting point, then add any extra descriptions, plat lots, copy fees or certification fees where applicable. |
| Extra descriptions | $2.00 for each lot/description over 10. | Count legal descriptions carefully before mailing payment. |
| Subdivision plat | $55.00 per page, plus $2.00 for each lot/unit on a subdivision plat. | Do not treat plats like ordinary deed documents; plat fees are calculated differently. |
| Ownership plat | Ownership plat, 18" × 18": $3.00. | Ask whether you need an ownership plat copy, official plat copy, or county map before paying. |
| Official plat | Official plat, 24" × 36": $5.00. | Useful for subdivision, survey, title, development or parcel-location research. |
| Recorded document copy | $1.00 per copy of recorded document. | Have the entry number, recording date and party names ready. |
| Certificate under seal | $5.00. | Request certification when a court, lender, title company or agency requires an official certified copy. |
| Military discharge | Iron County says it records military discharges and provides certified copies at no charge. | Ask about privacy and access restrictions before submitting or requesting discharge records. |
How to Prepare an Iron County Deed or Land Document for Recording
This workflow is for recording readiness only. It does not replace a Utah attorney, title company, surveyor, engineer, settlement professional or the Recorder’s final review.
Confirm the property is in Iron County
Use the legal description, parcel serial number, subdivision, city/town and property address to confirm the property is in Iron County, Utah before preparing payment or mailing documents.
Prepare a clear original or certified copy
Utah recording standards generally require an original or certified copy, English text or an accurate English translation, a first-page caption stating the nature of the document, legibility, notary acknowledgment and original signatures unless an exception applies.
Add legal description, serial number and grantee address
Iron County’s checklist specifically calls out a legible legal description, serial number and grantee mailing address for conveyance documents. Do not rely on a street address alone.
Check the margins and stamp space
Leave the required upper-right first-page recording-stamp space and required margins. Documents that cannot be legibly recorded or copied can be delayed or rejected.
Calculate the Recorder fee
Start with the standard document fee, then add any extra lot/description fee, plat fee, lot/unit plat fee, copy fee or certificate fee. Call the Recorder at 435-477-8350 when the document has many parcels, plats or special copy needs.
Submit and save the recording details
Submit in person, by mail or through an office-directed electronic process when available. Save the entry number, recording date, receipt and returned copy for future sale, refinance, construction, tax, estate or title questions.

Recorder vs Assessor vs Treasurer vs Clerk in Iron County
Iron County property tasks often involve more than one office. Start with the right office based on whether you need a recorded document, parcel data, tax payment, license, permit, court record or map.
| Office / Tool | Use It For | Do Not Use It For | Local Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron County Recorder / Surveyor | Deeds, mortgages, liens, land documents, ownership plats, recorded plats, survey plats, certified copies and Property Watch. | Tax payments, legal advice, engineering services, title searches or document drafting. | Use this office when the question is “what was recorded?” or “how do I record this?” |

| Iron County Clerk | Elections, licenses, passports and Clerk-specific services. | Recording deeds, mortgages and land-record instruments. | Use the Recorder, not the Clerk, for deed recording and recorded land documents. |
| GIS / Engineering / Survey Professionals | Maps, plats, road access, site maps, engineering records, private survey work and location analysis. | Legal title opinions or Recorder-certified document copies. | The county notes that Engineering does not perform surveying for private property; use a licensed professional where needed. |
