Start With the Right Office

Where Can You Search Juab County Deeds and Property Records?

The official starting point is the Juab County Recorder / Surveyor page. Select Property Search to open Juab EagleWeb. The system provides separate Document Search and Account Search functions, helping visitors find either recorded instruments or property-account information.

Search Recorded Deeds

Use Document Search in Juab EagleWeb to research recorded deeds, mortgages, liens and related documents. Open a matching result to review available index information.

Follow the document search guide →

Find a Property Account

Use Account Search when you want to locate a property by available owner, parcel or account information. The county’s GIS system can also help identify a parcel on a map.

See account and GIS instructions →

Request an Official Copy

The Recorder provides copies of recorded documents and certified copies for an additional fee. Contact the office with the document reference and number of pages.

See current copy charges →

Important distinction: Juab County Recorder records documents and maintains ownership plats. The County Assessor establishes taxable property values, while the Treasurer handles property-tax collection. A recorded deed search is not the same as checking the current tax bill.
Property and Parcel Research

Juab County Property Search by Owner, Account or Parcel

If you know only an address or want to identify the parcel associated with a deed, start with EagleWeb’s Account Search or the county’s GIS map. Juab County maintains ownership plats showing property boundaries, acreage, parcel addresses, taxing units and owner mailing information.

Use EagleWeb Account Search

  1. Open Juab EagleWeb.
  2. Choose Enter.
  3. Select Account Search.
  4. Enter the available property information using the provided fields.
  5. Select Search and open the matching property record.
  6. Save the account or parcel identifier for later research.

Use the Juab County GIS Viewer

  1. Open the county’s official GIS parcel viewer.
  2. Locate the general property area using the available map controls.
  3. Select the relevant parcel when supported by the viewer.
  4. Compare parcel boundaries and associated information.
  5. Use the resulting identifier or ownership details for further records research.
Important: A parcel map and ownership plat help identify land, but they do not independently guarantee marketable title or establish that every easement, mortgage or other recorded interest has been resolved.
Choose the Right Search

Which Juab County Search Should You Use?

What You Know Best Starting Point What to Check
Current owner name EagleWeb Account Search Match the owner’s information with the correct property account.
Previous owner or buyer EagleWeb Document Search Check recorded parties and available deed information.
Property or account identifier EagleWeb Account Search Review the corresponding property and ownership details.
Recording entry number EagleWeb Document Search Use a recording-reference search field where available and compare the index result.
Street address Account Search or GIS Viewer Identify the appropriate parcel before continuing with deed research.
Legal description Recorder’s document index Compare the legal description with the recorded instrument.
Need a certified deed Recorder’s Office Provide the document reference and ask for certified-copy service.
Time-saving tip: Save the parcel or account number once found. If the same property is involved in a tax inquiry, recorded deed request or GIS search, keeping that identifier can reduce repeated searching.
Recorded Documents Explained

What Records Does the Juab County Recorder Maintain?

The Recorder’s Office handles instruments affecting real property. Utah law requires recorders to index qualifying instruments using details such as entry number, parties, legal descriptions and document type. Juab County also maintains ownership plats and subdivision-related records.

Warranty and Quitclaim Deeds

Deeds can document transfers of real-property interests. A warranty deed may carry promises concerning title, while a quitclaim deed generally conveys whatever interest the grantor possesses without the same warranties.

Compare the grantor, grantee, recording date and legal description when reviewing a deed.

Trust Deeds and Mortgage-Related Documents

A trust deed commonly serves as security for a real-estate obligation. Related assignments, reconveyances or releases may help trace whether a recorded interest was later discharged.

A recorded trust deed does not establish the current outstanding loan balance.

Liens, Judgments and Releases

Recorded liens or judgments may affect real property. When a release is found, match it to the relevant original instrument.

Not every encumbrance affecting title is necessarily discoverable from a single online name search.

Subdivision and Ownership Plats

Ownership plats help locate parcels, identify acreage and relate land to tax information. Subdivision plats and survey maps can provide additional land-division information.

For a boundary or legal survey question, consult an appropriate licensed professional.

Recorder limitation: Juab County explicitly says its Recorder’s Office does not prepare legal documents, interpret legal documents, give legal advice or perform title searches for the public. A title company or qualified Utah attorney may be appropriate for complicated ownership questions.

Official Copy Requests

How to Request a Certified Juab County Deed Copy

The Recorder provides copies of recorded instruments and can issue certified copies for official purposes. Before requesting a copy, gather enough information to identify the exact document.

1

Locate the Instrument

Use Juab EagleWeb Document Search to find the relevant deed, lien, mortgage or other recorded instrument.

Save the entry number, recorded date, party names and any other available document reference.

2

Determine Whether Certification Is Necessary

Ask the receiving organization whether it needs a certified record or will accept an ordinary copy.

A downloaded image, printout or emailed informational copy is not necessarily certified.

3

Contact the Recorder’s Office

Call (435) 623-3430 and provide the recording reference.

Ask about document availability, page count, certification, payment options and the current method for receiving the copy.

4

Confirm the Copy Charge

Juab County lists $1 per record page plus $5 for a certificate under seal.

The office also lists a $10 flat charge per document for emailed record copies. Confirm which service applies to your request.

5

Keep the Official Copy and Receipt

Check that the supplied document matches the intended entry number and that any required certification is present.

Keep your receipt and document reference for future requests.

Useful Utah detail: Juab County states that certified copies from the Recorder can be recorded with another county recorder in Utah, subject to applicable Utah law and recording requirements. The Recorder references Utah’s certified-copy recording provisions on its official page.
Document Recording Guide

How to Record a Deed in Juab County, Utah

A document must satisfy applicable Utah recording requirements before the Recorder can accept it. Juab County publishes a detailed local checklist, while Utah’s updated recorder provisions include important changes effective in 2026.

1

Prepare the Correct Instrument

Determine which legal document is appropriate for the transaction. This could involve a warranty deed, quitclaim deed, trust deed, release, easement or another instrument.

The Recorder does not prepare or interpret deeds. For a transaction affecting legal ownership, obtain suitable professional guidance.

2

Include a Document Title or Caption

Utah’s recording requirements generally call for a brief heading or caption identifying the nature of the instrument.

Examples include Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed, Trust Deed or Release of Lien, depending on the actual document.

3

Provide the Legal Description

Property-related instruments generally require an adequate legal description under Utah recording law.

A street address alone may not be an adequate legal description. Use the appropriate legal description from reliable property and title documentation.

4

Check the Grantee’s Name and Mailing Address

Utah Code §57-3-105 sets requirements for identifying grantees and providing mailing information for covered documents conveying title.

Review every grantee’s information before submission.

5

Check Signatures and Notarization

Utah recording law generally requires original signatures and a proper notarial acknowledgment or other legally sufficient authentication, subject to statutory exceptions.

A 2026 statutory amendment also addresses certain instruments bearing the lieutenant governor’s Great Seal. That limited exception should not be treated as permission to omit notarization from an ordinary private deed.

6

Follow Document Formatting Requirements

Juab County publishes the following formatting standards for recording:

  • White, 8.5 × 11-inch paper for documents subject to its paper requirements.
  • One-inch margins on the left, right and bottom.
  • A first-page recording area measuring 2.5 inches downward and 4.5 inches across in the upper-right corner.
  • A one-inch upper margin on following pages.
  • Legible black printing and clearly reproducible signatures and notarial seals.
  • One-sided pages and no continuously bound sheets.

Utah’s updated §17-71-402 permits a recorder to establish certain formatting requirements through the statutory notice process. Confirm the currently enforced local requirements before submitting an instrument.

7

Confirm the Correct Recording Fee

Juab County’s published standard fee is $45 per instrument effective May 6, 2026.

Ask whether the instrument has additional legal descriptions or falls under a different recording category.

8

Submit the Document

Contact Juab County Recorder to confirm the accepted method for your filing, including in-person, mail or authorized electronic recording.

Utah law requires counties to provide for electronic recording, but that does not mean a PDF emailed to the public office automatically qualifies as an electronic recording submission.

9

Save the Recorded Entry Number

After recording, retain the official entry number, date and receipt.

Use those details for later EagleWeb research or certified-copy requests.

Older county checklist warning: Some statute references in Juab County’s recording requirements still cite former Utah Code Title 17, Chapter 21. The county-recorder provisions were reorganized under Title 17, Chapter 71, with additional changes effective May 6, 2026. Use the current state statute together with the county’s current recording requirements.

Utah-Specific Recording Details

Three Juab County Recording Details Worth Checking Before Filing

Parcel and Tax Serial Number

The county’s recording guidance asks that the tax serial number of each affected parcel appear on the instrument.

However, that identifier is not itself the property’s legal description. Verify both pieces of information separately.

Property Held in Trust

Juab County’s checklist cites Utah trust-recording requirements involving trustee information and the identification of the trust.

Ownership involving a trust can require additional details, so verify the current statutory rule and document language before recording.

Water Rights and Land Descriptions

Juab County links to the Utah Division of Water Rights interactive map. Water-right records and land ownership records are related but not interchangeable.

For a transaction involving a water right, review the relevant water-right information and obtain qualified title advice when necessary.

Why this matters locally: Juab County’s recording fee description expressly includes water-right numbers, mining claims, lots, units, rights of way and exceptions among legal-description categories that may affect the additional-description charge.

Search Troubleshooting

Why Juab EagleWeb May Not Find Your Deed or Parcel

An unsuccessful search does not automatically mean the deed was never recorded. The problem may involve the selected search type, incomplete identifying information, portal access or how the record was indexed.

Document Search Problems

  • Confirm that you selected Document Search rather than Account Search.
  • Try a previous owner’s name.
  • Check spelling variations and business or trust names.
  • Remove unnecessary filters.
  • Use an available entry number when known.
  • Open the portal’s Searching Help above the Search button.
  • Ask the Recorder about older or difficult-to-locate instruments.

Account or GIS Search Problems

  • Confirm the land is actually within Juab County.
  • Check the account or parcel identifier.
  • Try other available search criteria.
  • Compare owner information with a known recorded deed.
  • Use the county GIS viewer to locate the parcel.
  • Contact the appropriate county office if a record appears inconsistent.

Property Recording Notifications

Juab County Fraud Guard: How to Monitor New Recorded Documents

Juab County links to a Fraud Guard/Notify service through its property-records system. Utah law also requires counties to maintain an owner-elected notification system for certain newly recorded deeds and mortgages.

2

Follow the Registration Process

Open the county-linked notification service and review its enrollment instructions.

Provide only the information required by the service. Check whether the system requires an account, email confirmation or property-related identifying details.

3

Review Alerts for New Recordings

If the notification system reports an unfamiliar deed or mortgage, use the corresponding recording reference to inspect the instrument.

Utah Code §17-71-302 provides for electronic notice to electing property owners within the statutory period after certain deeds or mortgages are recorded.

4

Respond to Suspicious Activity

Preserve the recording details and contact the Recorder’s Office if you need help locating the document.

If you suspect fraud, contact the appropriate law-enforcement agency and seek legal assistance where necessary.

Important limitation: A fraud-notification subscription does not stop documents from being recorded, guarantee ownership protection or replace a title examination. Review the official service’s enrollment terms before providing personal information.
After Your Search

What Should You Do After Finding a Juab County Record?

You Found the Correct Deed

Save the entry number, recording date and parties. If the document is needed for an official transaction, confirm whether the recipient requires a certified copy.

You Found an Unexpected Lien

Identify the instrument and look for any related release or reconveyance. Ask a qualified title professional to evaluate unresolved or conflicting interests.

Ownership Information Looks Wrong

Compare the account record with the recorded deed. Contact the relevant county department about its records, but seek professional guidance if the underlying instrument needs legal correction.

You Need to Record a New Deed

Check the legal description, names, signatures, notarial acknowledgment, formatting requirements and current fee before submitting the document to the Recorder.
